Agriculture yesterday and today in the Bloischdorf Museum Barn

Agriculture yesterday and today in the Bloischdorf Museum Barn

To illustrate to the children how laborious bread baking was in earlier times, the children themselves shape the loaves of bread from prefabricated dough, which are then baked in the museum oven. During the baking time, there is a guided tour of the former pigsty, where agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters, mower binders and potato rattlers are on display. After returning from the pigsty, the children chop the herbs and process them with butter and curd. The children eat the freshly baked bread with the spreads. At the end of the project day, the children solve a quiz or crossword puzzle.

The folkloristic collection is particularly relevant to Sorbian/Wendish history. A collection of original historical photographs from the surrounding villages is also interesting.
