The Museum is designed to resemble a medieval church and the doorway has reliefs that reflect folk ways rather than the religious scenes one would see on a church doorway.
One panel depicts a man preparing to work in the fields, another a woman churning butter. Others depicts a swan and a bear, a musician playing a flute and a man apparently in clerical garb.
Unfortunately there is no sign at the site indicating the artist, title or date.
