My first thought when seeing these hanging above my head was that the pallet rack seemed woefully undersized. Then I looked closer and noticed that they are just wood patterns.
There is a display area with hundred of patterns, from pulleys to lamp posts.
In the patterns area is an old grind stone and its countershaft. The wheel is about 5' in diameter.
A nice old workbench. I'm not sure what it was used for but it is in great shape.
Some more details. It is simply made but still looks great in my opinion. The wood appears to be eucalyptus with pine for the drawers.
A tool chest that belonged to a carriage maker.
This picture was taken through a window and appears to be a drawing archive. Next to this room is a public reading room where much of the historical information can be accessed.
