In our region, life was built around fibre works traditionally. The most determining moments of the life of the people who lived in the Bereg Tiszahát were related to textile made with weaving and then ornamented with embroidery.

The day when textiles were made were awaited by the whole village. Since this work was strictly done by women and they represent the objective world of a young girl to be married, the organizers intended to elaborate on this topic as much as possible. Textiles used from the cradle to the grave, more appropriately by the mourners, are shown at our exhibition.

The mood of our people to ornament textile also manifests on textile used during housework around the house. When the dough is done there are at least a dozen different textiles used.

Old patterns are still favoured to ornament textile used in households. This observable on objects and cloths used even nowadays. The visitors to the exhibition are provided the opportunity to experiment with embroidery and design it on computers.

The script of the exhibition was written by the manager of the museum Mrs. Felhos Dr. Csiszár Sarolta and the ethnographer Pintye Gábor.
