A cozy seting area in a reconstructed house at Oldenburg/Starigrad. A bench and a chest, both covered in sheep fur, flank a trestle table with several pottery dishes standing on it. A shelf with more dishes is suspended over it. A set of clothing is hanging on the wall to its right.

Interior of a reconstructed house in Haithabu. The photo shows a suspended shelf with several replicas of Pingsdorf ware pottery on it. The lighting is very poor, contributing to the uninviting impression.

The reconstructed fishing huts in Oldenburg/Starigrad. The photo shows two houses, symmetrically arranged along the edge of a lake, with a wide path between them. A boat with a tall stem and stern is tied up in front of them. It is a very picturesque scene, clearly laid out for display complete with a prearranged photo point

Today, I'm writing about some impressions from the open air museums in #Oldenburg and #Haithabu and what they tell me about reconstructing historic cooking.
