A journey through the kitchen of Mecklenburg

When cooking and baking takes place at the fireplace of the old farmstead in the Schwerin-Mueß open-air museum, a piece of rural everyday culture from around 1900 comes to life again. At Sundays in the Cookie, historical performers from the Time Travel Mueß community showcase traditional kitchen practices, old recipes, and the handling of fire, ingredients, and simple household tools.

Cooking like in 1900

The kitchen becomes a vibrant display space: warmth, smoke, and the aroma of freshly prepared meals shape the exhibition atmosphere. Visitors experience firsthand how Mecklenburg's peasant families once organized their daily lives and the significance of communal cooking for social life.

Folklore as a sensory art experience

This historical representation connects museum education with aesthetic experience. Materials, sounds, hand movements, and tastes provide a vivid approach to everyday history. The focus here is not on painting or sculpture, but on the cultural design of the living space kitchen and on traditional forms of intangible cultural heritage.

History to watch, taste, and inquire

Between 11 AM and 4 PM, museum visitors can watch the historical performers bake and cook, sample freshly prepared treats, and engage in conversations about past lifestyles. The event is suitable for culture enthusiasts, families, and anyone who wants to experience history not just by reading, but through all their senses.

A vibrant place of learning in the open-air museum

The Schwerin-Mueß open-air museum preserves significant testimonies of Mecklenburg's folklore with farmsteads, artisan housing, shepherd's huts, forges, and other historical buildings. Sundays in the Cookie adds a performative dimension to this collection: history becomes understandable and tangible through presentation, storytelling, and practical activity.

Conclusion: Experience Mecklenburg's kitchen history up close

Sundays in the Cookie promises an atmospheric art experience between the fireplace, old recipes, and lively folklore. Those who wish to combine cultural education, historical authenticity, and sensory impressions should definitely experience this special museum day live at the Schwerin-Mueß open-air museum.
