It has a very eclectic collection of local history and art displayed in an historic building. It is worth an hour or so.

The museum itself was closed for winter, except for just 1 exhibition +1 special Christmas exhibition (which had limited explanation in English about what it was). We didn't go in museum, but its buildings were beautiful

Like all the museum, the place was full of history and interesting story to tell. The place is vast and the building was magnificent. Tiny little walk up the hill but worth the effort.
