The tenement house in Opole – currently the seat of a branch of the Museum of Opole Silesia – was inhabited by the middle class of the Opole bourgeoisie. In the two-story tenement house from the late 19th century with an attic, there were six small two-room apartments with an area of approx. 35 square meters. Currently, you can visit five of them – each is arranged in a different way, corresponding to the styles dominating in a specific period of time at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Apart from furniture, kitchen equipment, and everyday items, you can see various ways of heating rooms with tiled stoves and cast-iron stoves, or equipment for maintaining hygiene. A unique attraction is an English-style kitchen located in one of the apartments, with a white tile stove, a tin cooking top, and an oven. Moreover, the apartments feature two types of French stoves, cast from iron and fired with coal. In one of the apartments, you can see decorations from the communist era, including crystal glassware, pictures pasted with straw, or reproductions of works by recognized painters. In the attic of the tenement house, an exhibition of equipment used for washing, drying, and mangling by housewives from the end of the 19th century until the 1970s is arranged.
