Short scenes and moments from village life!
Village life is inevitably punctuated by scenes of life that seem innocuous, but which teach us a lot about our current life.
And what better way to understand it than to experience it firsthand! How about answering these questions: were we really dirty in the Middle Ages? How did we wash ourselves? Find out in the skit about hygiene in the Middle Ages.
Duration: 45 minutes
Opening hours: every day at 3:45 PM
