We are opening our special exhibition on International Museum Day

"Curse and blessing - old knowledge rediscovered"
How midwives and monks shaped everyday life

 

The exhibition is dedicated to the history of holistic healthcare and contrasts the work of the Cistercian monks in medieval Doberan with the knowledge of midwives and (supposed) witches of the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition, the more recent development of midwifery - from the founding of the midwives' association in Doberan to the regulations during the Nazi era and the "nationalized" midwife in the GDR - is also highlighted.

In the museum garden, we offer a spectacle with themed games, a play, a cauldron feast and all sorts of sheep as well as interesting facts about medicinal herbs.
