The museum is alive. Experience crafts and everyday culture up close in action.
Here you'll find all current dates and news about our museum. We warmly invite you to experience the historic everyday culture of the Wesermarsch region live and to become an active part of our museum community.
Two historical narratives about warmth, survival and craft resilience: original emergency stoves from besieged Sarajevo in the 1990s stand alongside life in the emergency shelters and Nissen huts of the Wesermarsch after 1945 — global history meets local fates.
The exhibition shows how people in extreme situations preserved warmth and dignity through improvisation and craft skill. Food shortages, lack of clothing and everyday necessities — and yet: the immense power of craft resilience. Free admission.
From special exhibitions to the Christmas bazaar – here's what to expect throughout the year.
