I have almost forgotten about this set of photos taken at the Baler Museum last April 2019. Somehow, these got piled over by other photos I took from other trips afterwards. Here are a load of photos I took at the museum; many of which have stories to tell. I included the text in my photos to save myself from writing about these in detail.
