If you walk through the 20 rooms of the museum, one can feel like a real German burghers, to plunge into the life of that era, to enjoy scrutiny of furniture, crockery, kitchen utensils and interiors of the time. For example, one of the main features of the German burghers - even the desire to save on the little things - is reflected in the interior, in one of the halls of the chest section of the wall is not painted (he did not see the guests), and you can not spend money on artistic painting. In one of the state rooms on the glass door and it seems that the visible painting on the ceiling of the next room (at least the front), and in fact - is a mirror reflecting the first-painted room, and above the door - a blank wall.

In addition, moving from room to room, the visitor occurs an idea of ​​the history of furniture, interior design, tableware, decorations. Because decoration of halls executed in the classical style, which is characterized by the severity of lines, symmetry, regular alternation of columns and pilasters, windows and style Bidmayer. This style brings to life some bourgeois sentimentality and intimacy, the desire to find something in an idyllic life. Very interesting collection of furniture, Meissen porcelain and silver products made in the Rococo style.
