A weekend when visitors may not only visit the invaluable treasures of the historical and archaeologocal collections but also meet tradition keeping handicraftsmen who fabricate wonderful objects with original techniques of times past. In the bustle of the fair you will find Bronze-age ceramics, Roman glassware, medieval swords, textiles, jewels and clothes, all praising the skills of today’s handicraftsmen. Visitors may take elaborate copies of artefacts in their hands or buy them  or even be taught to produce them. Guided programs provide an opportunity to see how they had been once used .

There will be a multitude of professional activities: guided tours into various fields of museology, book launches for grownups and various entertainments for the young ones.  Fairy tales, legends, craft and fun and treasure hunts are awaiting them. Parents and kids will both find amusement and activity and also come across unique Christmas presents in the two-day hustle and bustle!
