The world tree - plants in the folk culture of the Nowy Sącz region
We invite you to take advantage of the rich cultural offer as part of the project "Tree of the world - plants in the folk culture of the Nowy Sącz region", which the District Museum in Nowy Sącz is implementing in the years 2022-2024.
About the project
The project "Tree of the world - plants in the folk culture of the Sądecczyzna region" is a three-year research and popularization task, the purpose of which is to bring closer the issues related to the economic, medical and ritual use of plants in the traditional rural culture of the Sądecczyzna region, as well as the topic of the plant world in local beliefs, cosmology and folklore. The task will consist of a two-year series of folklore events in the open-air museum in Nowy Sącz, referring to the theme of plants in folk culture. An important element will be field, museum and archival research, which will be used to prepare the Nowy Sącz herbarium - a popular science ethnobotanical publication, as well as the revitalization of farm greenery in the Nowy Sącz open-air museum and the development of an educational ethnobotanical path. The theme of the task will be an inspiration to prepare help for people with disabilities and to organize a two-year series of workshops within the framework of old crafts schools. The culmination of the task will be the narrative exhibition "Tree of the World" made available in 2024.
