    More from this great little museum. I think I'm really just amused by/interested in really strange things sometimes, which was also used as a prison at various points, hence the picture of the cell door, where they locked up artisans who took place in the Nail Revolt. Yes, the revolted against the introduction of nails produced by machines, as it put them out of work. And the 1930s washing machine-- I'm always interested in labor saving devices, and how recently they came into human history.

    The box after the automaton with the trumpet: that's the orchestra in a box. Someone put money in it when we were in the next room, so I tried to record a bit of it. As with all my videos: results are less than optimal.
