REGIONAL MUSEUM & FARM TOURISM

In the rooms of Museum we present original regional costumes, works of local artists and crafters. There is also a traditional old wooden cottage with a stove (there was no chimney),  smithy workshop and the stable.

The ethnographic part of the display presents the folk culture of the Istebnian Region. The gathered historic artifacts describe some of the traditional activities of the local people:  agriculture as well as the old craft of smithery. 

We organize workshops of traditional craft. We can learn how to make a butter in special churn, saw traditional leather footwear called “kyrpce” or to make a basket out of spruce roots.

There are two regional groups connected with our Museum: regional ensemble “Mali Zgrapianie” as well as singing group “Zgrapianie”. Their vivid performances based on traditional dances, games, rituals are presented during occasional events.

And if we still feel need of exploration… let’s stay “Na Grapie” a little bit longer. The movie “Painstaking beskidian year” will lead us trough the authentic life of highlanders, their hard work on the field and in the household, explain their colorful rituals and old, symbolic customs. What’s more, our guides use authentic dialect and listening to them could be a really interesting experience. Location of the whole complex in beautiful Jaworzynka, between the hills, makes this place even more attractive.
