04 Sept 2022 Saying goodbye to our exhibition “Party in the 21st century”
It is your last chance to visit our special exhibition, where traditional Slovakian headdresses have been presented by combining photography, body painting, art and tradition. “Parta” is the name for it.

Therefore we have planned on this day:
Workshop “From ‘Parta’ to ‘Borta’” – 10.00 am – 4.00 pm
For young people as well as adults, who love to dress up in a festive Sorbian way. Try out various traditional Sorbian headdresses of different regions. Choose the right colours for your personal face painting with photo shooting at the end. Book now to secure your place: ticket@sorbisches-museum.de, costs: 10 €
Guided tour in German language: 3.00 pm

There is a lot going on in Bautzen at this weekend, you can explore the city and join the “Festival of the old town”, but don’t forget to visit us as well! 😉
11 Sept 2022 Heritage open day!
Salt House – Law court – Sorbian museum
The slogan for the day of open monument is “KulturSpur. Ein Fall für den Denkmalschutz” (english cultural marks. A case for the protection of ancient monuments) this year. Entry free at the Sorbian museum!
Come and find out about the history of the museum building! It was already built in 1782 and was used as Salt House first. Then it was turned into a court in 1869. Since the 1970ies, the Sorbian museum is located here. Therefore it was renovated during the 1980ies. Have a look at our hall, past law court, if you still can see the neoclassical wall paintings. What other cultural marks or historical traces can you discover at the Sorbian museum?
