The household consists of a house with an enclosed porch, a sheep tallow candle workshop, a stable with two stables, a larder, and a shed. The objects on display cover both living needs and domestic activities such as animal sheltering, collecting, and storing of the harvest, candle-making, but also religious and decorative objects.
