The exhibition will feature wedding customs and ceremonies typical of rural and city culture in Upper-Silesia during the 19th and 20th century. The subject will be widely covered: from the moment a young couple meets, through an engagement, wedding and reception, the moving of newly-weds to a new home, and to celebrations of subsequent wedding anniversaries- silver and gold.
We will be able to observe the wedding fashion changing over the years in the city, the continuity of peasant’s fashion trends and some requisites connected with symbolic magical moments of a traditional wedding such as: polterbend, wedding ‘gates’, greeting a young couple with bread and salt and a capping ceremony. We will also present items which constituted a village girl’s dowry and that of a rich city girl.
