Knock on wood

Carpenter's workshop

From window repairs to the production of new exhibitions.

From furniture production and window repairs to the production of new exhibitions - many different tasks are carried out in the carpenter's workshop. Furniture for offices and social rooms is manufactured here as well as objects for exhibitions. The carpenters often work directly in the museum to set up display cases or special exhibitions. Panel materials are mainly used, but solid wood is also utilised.
