On Monday we had the first time in weeks to play the “tourist” ourselves. And since we had heard from a fellow townsman that our house was already on display in Minivärlden, we naturally wanted to see it ourselves.
In this small museum they recreate old railway routes, a kind of Madurodam, but for railways and we live on Stationsgatan so…… The whole thing is based on the collection of a doctor from Ljungby who left it to the Kommun, municipality, when he died. This doctor had recreated kilometres of railway in the cellar of his house, equipped with everything that stands, lives and lives around those railway lines. In order not to let it gather dust, they decided to build a museum around it.
It was really nice to see our house in miniature, everything on it and on it. Coincidentally, the person who built it and who also kept us informed about the whole process, was walking around and we had a nice chat with him.
It is special to see how much love and passion the railways were built with, everything runs and here and there you can press a button and somewhere a cow goes to eat, a man harvests or chops wood, a boat sails across the lake. The railway lines have all been closed down, but now they have been restored to their former glory in this small museum.
It was also funny that the old furniture from the station building is displayed here in Lidhult, complete with a ticket seller who tells his story in 3 languages.
Our house is already there, together with the station building and the former hotel on the corner of our street, the rest still has to grow around it.
