THE MUSEUM OF RURAL AND FOREST LIFE

"The Museum of Rural and Forest Life does not only intend to bear witness to the skills of the past. It is also intended to be a place of ethnographic apprehension of our countryside. It is also a place for an ethnographic apprehension of our countryside." A catchphrase that perfectly summarizes the mission of these spaces installed in the agricultural outbuildings of the monastic site. It is through an important collection of objects that we are invited to discover three economic activities that have brought life to the region. The transformation of wood after logging, the breeding and processing of milk and the cultivation of wicker and basketry of Origny-en-Thiérache. A look in the rear-view mirror, full of lessons. It should be noted that many activities are regularly organised there (variable themes). Organization of the Night of the Museums in May, and in October Rurality Day (local market, animations of old trades and various workshops).
