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.

On the trail of Sorbian/Wendish customs

The village museum has brought together evidence of everyday life that documents the village way of life in the communities north of Forst and east of the Neisse River. The folkloristic collection is particularly relevant to Sorbian/Wendish history. A collection of original historical photographs from the surrounding villages is also interesting. On the upper floor of the museum, which is a half-timbered building, you can see a bedroom from 1900 as well as festive costumes worn by men and women from 1805. A tour of the upper floor, where exercise books from 1805, books from 1850 and a historical school blackboard are on display, provides insights into the Prussian primary schools.

The offer takes place indoors and is aimed at schoolchildren.
of classes 1 to 10.
Dates: by arrangement
Pre-registration: at least 2 weeks in advance

Agricultural technology and the rural way of life

Building / plot situation

The exhibition can be experienced in the rooms of a mill building erected at the beginning of the 20th century, the electrically operated successor to the former trestle windmill at the same location. The red brick building complex - in the arrangement a closed four-sided courtyard - has been completely renovated on the "outer shell" (roof / façade / windows) in recent years.

Characteristics

The exhibition activities of the association "Traditionelle Landtechnik und bäuerliche Lebensart Proschim e.V." (Traditional Agricultural Technology and Rural Way of Life Proschim) focus on regional folklore. In the exhibition rooms of the mill, visitors can see an exhibition of rural furniture, domestic tools, small-scale agricultural technology and village crafts. The collection of historical agricultural technology is of particular importance beyond the region. In the exhibition, reference is made to the Sorbian / Wendish roots through bilingual labelling. The mill technology, which is still partly preserved on site, is included in the presentation.

Special exhibitions / accompanying offers

An annual special exhibition is held at the village festival.
The exhibition is regularly rearranged, for example to show newly acquired exhibits.

• Action days with demonstrations of agricultural technology, historical household appliances, food processing and much more.
• The exhibition and event concept of the association also includes the inclusion of particularly original properties; on special occasions, such as the "Landpartie", the "German Mill Day", village festivals and other festive days, the objects are open and the private properties together with collection items are presented as an "open farm".
•  On request, museum educational programmes and lectures on a wide range of topics are held for schoolchildren as well as in the context of rural adult education.
