The museum is located in the restored building of shopping malls.

The museum "The Craftsman and the breadwinner" has a full set of tools: a utornik, a tight, a pad, with the help of which they made tubs or tubs. Guests can also see how threads were made manually from flax in the old days.

In the museum's exposition, visitors will be able to see baskets, barrels, loom parts and other items made by local craftsmen. In the pottery workshop, you can watch the process of making pottery on an old potter's wheel.

The pottery workshop is both a museum exhibition and an interactive platform. Under the guidance of craftsmen, you can try to sculpt a plate or a jug from local clay yourself.
