Museum der Alltagskultur, Ethnographic museum in Schloss Waldenbuch, Germany.
This museum occupies several floors of Schloss Waldenbuch and displays wide-ranging collections about everyday life over the past 200 years. The rooms present furniture, clothing, tools, and household goods that document how people's living spaces and ways of life changed.
Opened in 1989 as a branch of the state museum, this institution transformed the medieval castle into a center for documenting regional ways of life. The museum traces how everyday practices and domestic life evolved across two centuries.
The exhibits display rooms set up as homes, household goods, and personal objects that show how domestic life and social habits changed over time in Germany. Visitors see everyday things from different periods that reveal how people lived and worked in the past.
The museum sits about 25 minutes from Stuttgart in a converted castle with multiple levels and wheelchair access throughout. Visitors should allow time to move through different floors and explore the collections at a comfortable pace.
The museum features a restored photo studio and a Lurchi carousel where visitors can interact with exhibits as they explore. These hands-on elements make walking through the castle particularly engaging for families and curious visitors.
