Our purpose is to show that the design of the home tells us something about the society in the past. There is no better place to start, I think, than in the center of family life－the kitchen. If you will, please follow me… The first kitchen, in our exhibition is probably a little bigger than your own. You can see it's a big room with a high ceiling aid large work tables. There is a huge stove to the left. Food could be cooked for hundreds of people at one time. It took about 25 people to prepare a meal here. And this particular kitchen dates back to the early 1,800's. It is not an example of the ordinary family kitchen, but it does give us some idea about the certain requirements of building the kitchens that were common in. the homes of that time. Can you point out some of the characteristices of the design?
