Offers for children - With Kobi to the museum
Kobi - the little house ghost - is at home in the museum. He lives there in a slipper under the stove. At midnight, he eavesdrops on the old museum pieces when they tell stories about the past. He tells these exciting stories to the museum staff, who then pass them on to the children - stories from the old, old days.
Kobi offers:
1. from grain to bread
To show the children how laborious bread baking was in the past, they mould loaves of bread themselves from pre-made dough, which are then baked in the museum oven.
An educational lesson provides lots of interesting facts about cereals. The children can also make butter from cream. Afterwards, herbs are collected from the museum's own herb garden and made into herb butter and herb quark. The bread is taken out of the oven and cooled. Meanwhile, the pupils solve a quiz or a crossword puzzle. Finally, the children eat the bread with herb quark and herb butter.
The programme takes place indoors and outdoors and is aimed at daycare centres and schoolchildren
of classes 1 to 8.

Pre-registration: at least 3 weeks in advance

2. traditional Easter egg decorating
Everyone is invited to learn about, try out and apply two traditional Sorbian techniques for decorating Easter eggs.
Traditional ornaments and patterns are applied to the egg with pinheads and quills.
In the wax-bossing technique, wax in different colours is dabbed onto the white, brown or previously coloured egg. The coloured wax remains on the Easter egg. The wax dabbing technique is more time-consuming, as the ornaments are dabbed on with wax in several passes and the egg is repeatedly dipped into different colour baths between waxing. At the end, the wax is removed from the egg again.
The programme takes place indoors and is aimed at daycare centres and schoolchildren
of classes 1 to 10.
Dates: 4 weeks before Easter
Pre-registration: at least 3 weeks in advance
Duration: approx. 2 hours
Group size: 10 to 30 people
Contribution towards expenses per person: € 7.00
