Eastereggs versus “Ei”-phone

“Sorbian folkart in the 21st. century?!” Does our traditional sorbian/wendish culture stand a chance against distractions like Pokémon Go and similar products, and if so, how is it supposed to act to keep on being?

The Sorbian Museum invites folkartists and everyone interested to a public discussion in cooperation with the Support association for sorbian folk-culture (Förderkreis für sorbische Volkskultur) on Wednesday, August the 31st 2017 at 7.00 p.m.

The next date for our regular Coffee at three o’clock is september the 7nth at, well 3 p.m. The subject will be presented by our restorer. It is an historical subject and it is something you might not expect in our museum. That much can be said.

Almost 1700 persons, tourists and locals used the Easter holidays to visit the Serbski muzej with its exhibitions and the public decorating of eggs. The high point was saturdays programm in the afternoon at 4.00 p.m. In the audience hall full of spectators up to the last seat and beyound, Marta and Hanka Sarodnik from Zeißig played with their mother Anett. Sorbian-wendish pieces on the bagpipes,l the wendish violine and pipes as well as the skillfully performed duett “Komu su sněhowki” [To whom belong the snowdrops?] enchanted the audience.

While pausing from playing music, members of the Sarodnik-family gave explanations about their instruments, sorbian customs and the traditional clothing . The lad‘s/men‘s clothing was displayed by brother Werner Sarodnik and Paul Mautz. A lot of visitors made use of the possibility to chat with the talent-blessed young familiy right after the concert.

From last years novembre the departement of fine arts inside of our museum was closed due to a reorganization under new concept. The main reason is, that parts of the currently aquired works had to be incorporated into the permanent exhibition. This happened in connection with the special exhibition “Gesammelte Werke. Neuerwerbungen bildender Kunst.” The extensive project could be realized thanks to the generous support by promotional funds from the federal programme “Investitionen für nationale Kulttureinrichtungen in Ostdeutschlannd” (carried out by the Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst as well as the Ostdeutsche Sparkassenstiftung in coop. Kreissparkasse Bautzen; Stiftung für das sorbische Volk.)

We would like to express our profound thankfulness to all sponsors, regarding the purchase of the last five years especially to the Stiftung für das sorbische Volk and Sächsisches Landesstelle für Museumswesen.)

So in the context of Easter – you do not need to search for the artpieces – but you can joifully explore them!
