The old saddle workshop has been immaculately preserved. The centrepiece however, is the wide-ranging museum pharmacy, which displays the past 200 years of apothecary tradition. Right next to the old country pharmacy, the dentist opened his own practice, using a foot-operated, mechanical drill and a collapsible dentist’s chair. Shipping also has a long tradition in Burg, dating back to the 18th century, so the industry earned a place in the museum, alongside shoemakers, table makers, hairdressers, and grocers.
