The Norbertine Museum in Żukowo
The Norbertine Museum was opened this year at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Żukowo, which used to function as a monastery church, surrounded by buildings where the nuns lived and worked. The history of the monastery dates back to the early 13th century and ends in the second half of the 19th century – only the church remains of the entire complex.
Walking around the interiors, whose aesthetics refer to the simplicity and modesty of monastic life, we learn about its history. Thanks to interactive exhibitions, we learn about the history of the monastery, what its buildings looked like and how far they reached, what was taught at the Norbertine school. We learn about the everyday life of the nuns living in strict cloister. We visit the embroidery studio and admire examples of fabrics, paintings, sculptures and church valuables from different eras. The various methods of communication proposed by the designers activate the recipients, including the youngest ones, and reflect the multifaceted activities of the nuns.
