"Being together in a museum means giving it the chance to be alive, open. To the public of any age. To curiosity."
The creativity workshop debuted as a museum education program in 2001, but specific actions existed even in the 90s, at the initiative of Irina Nicolau. Since then, we have been imagining with and for children ethnology lessons, painting, drawing, DIY, weaving, sewing, shadow theater workshops, but also animation, radio, imagined stories. It is our way of transposing the Museum of the Romanian Peasant into colors, sounds and events.
Children, sometimes adults too, acquire knowledge about the village, the peasant, customs - of yesterday and today. Sometimes they also project "tomorrow". They learn practical skills – the needle, file, vise, awl, spade or glass are no longer names that make you think of beasts and dragons, but become simple tools to create worlds with different sounds, materials, colors and textures.
