The Zofia and Stanisław Chrząstowski Lachs of Sącz Museum is a branch of the Sądecki Ethnographic Park. It originated in a private ethnographic collection of regionalists and culture organisers living in Podegrodzie since the late 1920s. The exhibition focuses on the traditional material culture of the Lach region: agriculture, rural crafts such as pottery, smithery, the processing of unwoven fabric and weaving. It also presents contemporary folk art, rural landscaping (shrines, a beehive), ceremonial artifacts related to traditional family and annual holidays: wedding wands, harvest wreaths, nativity cribs, carolling stars, Turoń costumes, horses, and household equipment. You can also see original festive outfits from Podegrodzie, most of them from the turn of the 20th century. Elaborately embroidered men’s kaftans, gurmans, women’s corsets and ‘wizytki’ demonstrate the perfection of rural outfit designs. The ethnographic exhibition is supplemented by an exhibition of archival photographs and the memorabilia of a village photographer who lived at the turn of the 20th century. He was involved in artistic furniture-making, sculpture, music and social activities, but photography was his greatest passion. He took numerous wedding portraits, and family and commemorative photographs. He photographed the landscape of the village and people at work. He documented regional and state celebrations and important events in the life of the entire region. An exhibition of the Nowy Sącz museum collection titled ‘Archaeology of Podegrodzie and areas near Nowy Sącz’ presents a separate range of themes.
