With our grandchildren we visited the museum and the tower. A great tour of the museum gave us many interesting insights into the history and development of the region. Some were really surprising and the exhibits are well presented; most are still functional.

We ended up at the Burgmuseum when some extended family members were showing us around Plau Am See. The weather had been a bit rainy, and looking for an indoor activity, we ended up at this museum. It is a lovely little local/area history museum with staff members who are take pride in what it offers. The most interesting feature of the museum is that is has things that are still operational and that the staff will demonstrate for you. These include a magnifying/illumination mechanism used in shoe making in days-gone-by, printing press/type setting machines, and a steam power demo machine. The docent showed us all of these things "in action." I found the printing machines to be the most interesting. The upper level featured displays of historical bicycles, antique fishing equipment, and about animal trapping. The entrance fee was so low, we felt compelled to put something in the donation box at then end. Kids were 50 euro cents and adults I think were 2.50 euros. Everything is in German and the docent spoke only German. Our family is fortunate to have one fluent German speaker among us to interpret. However, even if you don't understand the language, the entrance fee is beyond reasonable, the physical displays will still be interesting, and you'll feel great about supporting this museum which is clearly a labor of love and civic pride for those who founded it and work there.
