Educations

Senovės Lietuvos kaime darbas vijo darbą, o ypač rudens laikotarpiu, kai prasidėdavo derliaus nuėmimas. Linarūtė, linamynis, kūlimas… Ir visus darbus reikėjo suspėti laiku. Todėl neretai sodiečiai skubėdavo vieni kitiems pagalbon. Nei kūlimas, nei linamynis neapseidavo be didesnės kaimynų ar giminių talkos. Taip ir smagiau, ir darbas greičiau eina. Tuo įsitikinsite prisidėdami prie inscenizuotų senųjų kaimo darbų, patys pasigamindami mūsų krašto patalkių vakarienės patiekalą bei dalyvaudami patalkių vakarėlyje su žaidimais, šokiais ir išdaigomis.

We use soap every day, but we don’t think about how it came about, how our grandparents or great-grandparents washed, and what is its composition. Lecturers “laundry ladies” will tell the story of the origin of soap, present the methods of soap production, introduce washing tools and their use. You will hear about the tools and you will wash in wooden troughs with metal and wooden grates yourself. After getting acquainted with the washing tools, we will invite you to a creative workshop, where you will make soap of custom aroma, shape, and color!

The Laboratory For the Curious combines history, natural sciences, and chemical experiments into one whole.

Before conducting the experiments, students will be introduced to the safety rules and will wear protective clothing.
