From antique headdresses and a large stove in the kitchen near the scullery to a school classroom from 1880 and a bedroom with a four-poster bed, the daily life of Lacaune's inhabitants between 1700 and 1945 is recreated . One room is dedicated to " The Fate of the Wild Child, " while two others focus on the Assignment , featuring a model apartment and comprehensive exhibits on the event.
