On the first Saturday of selected months, every nook and cranny of The Green Museum comes alive. We hold Living Saturday, where museum curators and volunteers tell stories, serve tastings, and show examples of old crafts. Exactly what you can experience will change over time, but here is an example.
A new entrance to the exhibitions
Experience the exhibitions and the stories in and behind them on Living Saturday. For example, our facilitators may invite you to an introduction to the exhibition STORT – people and the forest.
In the exhibitions you will often meet some of our many guilds who share experiences and stories from their lives with the old crafts. For example, the butchers' guild in the slaughterhouse exhibition, the dairymen in the dairy exhibition or the bow guild and the coal burners in STORT – Man and the forest. And of course the visitors' hosts who can tell about their work with the many machines in the Visitors' Magazine.
Life in the workshops
The exhibitions are not the only place you will be able to meet some of our volunteers for Living Saturday. They also populate their workshops. For example, if you hear engine noise from the Tractor Workshop, it is because some of the mechanics are busy breathing life into the old tractors – while they talk about them.
And the smell from the Historical Workshop? That's because we're preparing a dish based on a historical recipe. Come in and taste it!
Look in Calendar It Happens – for the exact program and stop by the museum on the first Saturday of the month.
