Friday - Household chores on display in Den Haag

Today's thing to do has been recommended by my friend R, who is also a reader of this blog....so thank you R!

It is definitely a good choice if, like me, you are planning to do the dreaded household chores over the weekend and need some encouragement.

Currently on show at the The Hague Historical museum, hosted in a beautiful building on the Hofvijver, it's an exhibition about the Household Management Academy, nicknamed the "Spinach Academy", which has been based in this city for more that a hundred years.

Tips on how to prolong your flowers' life, clean your oven and fold the linens can be picked up from the displays, among samples of kitchen equipment and black and white photos of the good old days when home economics was a subject taught in school. 

It was supposed to end this weekend but instead it's running till the 3 March.
