In the garden of the Ethnographic Museum in Tarnów is a seasonal exhibition that is open in the spring. It is a recreation of a Romani encampment arranged in the museum’s open-air space, evoking the deep-seated image of Romani caravans wandering along Polish roads. Until the end of autumn, the carts (‘wurdans’) are set up around a tent and fire pit, evoking an irretrievably lost past and reconstructed in accordance with Romani traditions by Tarnów museum workers. Under the trees stand wooden and glazed carts decorated colourfully with floral paintings and interior ornamental decorations on the ceilings and oriental dragons in the corners. These houses on wheels were equipped with almost all the equipment needed for daily life: tableware, cookers, furniture, soft carpets, and warm quilts. The only thing missing is the horses, inseparable companions of the wanderers, strapped to the drawbars and watered at every stop. In the summer, some of the carts set off as part of the International Caravan of Remembrance in honour of the Romani people murdered during the Second World War, taking participants to the graves of those executed and places of remembrance of those who have passed away. In the evenings they again stand still to accompany revellers enjoying Romani music and a blazing fire. In the background of the carts is a canvas tent (‘szatra’), with a simple design of two ploughs driven into the ground and a vertical pole, with the fabric thrown over it to form a gabled roof, revealing a low entrance and an covered rear. In front of it, during museum festivals, cultural events, and dances accompanied by Romani bands, kindling is set aflame in the stone fire pit.
