The exhibits encompass various aspects of the Tkon’s past by presenting the daily life of the local population, with an emphasis on old skills and tools related to shipbuilding, fishing, agriculture etc. In addition to panels presenting different segments of everyday life through photos and textual descriptions, individual segments of life on the island are also presented through audio stories and video materials.
