Next Coffee at three o‘clock at november 30th
Due to several requests of our “regulars” we decided to switch the appointement for the next coffee at three o‘clock from decembre the 7nth to november the 30nth, one week before. This time the theme is “Greetings from the wendish region” – Sorbian Motives on postcards a historical photographies.
Lecturer this time will be our scientific coworker Mrs. Paulik. You are welcome, to bring own historical postcards and photographs with wendish/sorbian motives.
We would be more than glad to welcome you!
Student of archeology on internship at the Museum
For the period of four weeks of this summer Josefine Falkenberg is on an internship at the Sorbian Museum. During that time she is focussing on extended research about clothing of the western slaves in early middle ages as well as forms of early Slavic castles and settlements from 11th / 12th century. In that context she is drawing sketches of the objects in question. Another part of her work closely connected to the other is the creation of a more child-oriented part of our current exhibition.
Primarily, Ms. Falkenberg is studying ethnology and archaeology of the ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine world (two subjects, Bachelor of Arts) at Gottingen’s Georg-August-University.
Public Appeal!
For the first time the Sorbian museum dedicates an exhibition to photographic history and the question, when did sorbian/wendish motives appear as an image worth showing. It will be shown from Sunday, October the 9th till Wednesday, March the 3rd. For that numerous original photographic pictures in archives and museums throughout Lusatia have been sighted.
Do you possess interesting historical photographies (with sorbian/wendish content) of the time from 1850 till 1930? If so, we would be most grateful if you could lend them to us for the duration of the exhibition! Two walls are exclusively reserved for this purpose. That way, you could participate in the exhibition. History consists of live and transient moments; which is expressed by no medium as clear as photography.
In case you consider to follow this appeal: We kindly ask that first you send your chosen pictures to us in a digital form. We will contact you back in any case. Please do not send us any material unsolicited via postal service.
We thank you for your time and efforts in advance!
Most kind regards
