The Wilnsdorf Museum consists of the "Folklore Museum" and the "Cultural and historical meeting place" .

history

In 1989 the council of the community of Wilnsdorf decided to set up a cultural and historical meeting place. In a first step, the Folklore Museum, which opened in 1993, was created in the newly established meeting place.

With the takeover of the "Dr. Albrecht ” with around 7,000 replicas of objects from around 100 museums from around the world, it became the starting point for a“ cultural-historical educational trail ”with representative cross-sections of various cultures and ages. This was realized in 2003 as a “journey through time” .

museum

The Folklore Museum presents life and work in the southern Siegerland at the beginning of the 20th century on two floors. A separate exhibition deals with mining in the Siegerland . The theme of the Natural History Cabinet is the insects and plants of the Siegerland.

The cultural-historical meeting place deals with the history of the earth from the Stone Age to the ancient high cultures to the Middle Ages and modern times .

Changing special exhibitions are shown in the museum.
