Our museum volunteers are busy preparing the cultural exhibit displays for Winnipeg’s FOLKLORAMA 2018 festival at the Polish Pavilion. This year, our displays are all about the art of weaving, Polish style. Learn about the different regional designs and techniques. Once you’re all cultured in the art of Polish weaving handicrafts, you can relax and watch the tireless dancers do their thing while filling up on pierogi, bigos, cabbage rolls, kielbasa, and of course, Polish beer.
Come visit us at the RBC Convention Centre between August 5 and August 11, 2018. Do zobaczenia!
