The Vivant Museum of the Agapia Monastery ensemble
COUNTY ATTRACTIONS
About
Out of the desire to show what a day is like in the life of a monk, especially the nuns from the Agapia Monastery, in 2013 one of the houses in the monastery village was opened for visitors. In the carefully furnished and arranged house you can find icons, church objects, embroideries, carpets made in the monastery. In the 3 workshops (weaving and embroidery, pottery and bakery) those interested can test their skills and creativity.
The Vivant Museum is housed in one of the oldest houses of the monastic village of Agapia, which was built with a stone ground floor and a wooden upper floor. The cottages and household rooms are furnished in a traditional and attractive style, presenting how a nun's day unfolds in the convent. Also, on the ground floor you can see how the monks lived in the past, before Agapia was a nunnery. Even though the museum has only been around for a few years, the exhibits, furniture, fabrics were created hundreds of years ago.
