The collection of smith and locksmith crafts compiles tools and expedients used in traditional manual iron processing and also products created by this technology during centuries.
The smithery collection contains large groups of universal as well as specialized instruments used in all working activities. Smith's tools and expedients had been the same for centuries and, consequently, the collection well documents historical development. Some of its dated items come from the 17th century. The collection also includes a group of artistically worked-out grilles.
The locksmith collection contains the products (about 700 pieces) represented by furniture and door trims, particularly locks and keys covering the time span from Gothic artifacts from the 15th century till now. Apart from usual products, the collection also contains masterpieces reflecting the unity of manual skill, creative design thinking and stylistic influences.
