Ängelholm's technology museum

My husband and I (and our kids) love museums.  Here in Sweden there is more work involved in going to a museum because the explanations are mostly in Swedish (imagine that?!).  And although we are trying to learn the language, we are only limping along.

Anyway, there is a series of small museums in Ängelholm.  We thoroughly enjoyed them.

These pictures are from the town's technology museum. 

 

I KNOW!  What's not to love?  : )

Go ahead and look at the bicycles, but I actually took this picture because of the old Lakerol candy dispenser.  Lakerol is...everywhere.

OK - now onto the bicycles.  

Yes, the sign is in Swedish.  -

But if you can make out the small print, you should be able to get the gist of it.  

What was especially interesting about this bicycle, is that it appeared to be home-made.  That is, the wood looked hand carved, and the metal appeared hand forged.

Did you notice the cute little child's seat?
Also take note of the interesting design of the adult seat.
The padding is in two parts.

There were dozens and dozens of bicycles in this museum.  I only took pictures of a few.  The picture below is at the tannery museum which was next door, but it is a good example of what I saw in the technology museum and what I continue to see on the streets of Malmo.

Although much of the museum was filled with cars, cycles, and pieces and parts of cars and cycles, there was space dedicated to other wonders of technology.  I write that with a smile on my face, and I take what we have for granted, but so much of what we use everyday is a wonder. 

So - below you see a very early model of something which has become common.  Can you guess what it is? (Peeking at the little sign is not allowed.)
