The Safien Museum of Local History stands in the midst of other old Walser houses and forms a characteristic part of the cultural landscape of the area. It shows how people used to build, live and work. As the only heated room, the Stube served as a living and dining room and as a workroom, especially for spinning and weaving and at times for coopering and carpentry. In the kitchen, in a confined space under the open fireplace, there are the cooking facilities with the "Pfannachnächt", the equipment for making cheese and the access for heating the parlor stove. The bedrooms are located on the upper floor. The exhibition is completed by a great variety of woven and crocheted objects around a loom in working condition, a representation of Easter egg carving, music care, emigration and shoemaking. In a two-part audio-visual show, the Safiental is presented and the changes in the management of the farms are shown.
