Wendisches Museum

The Wendisches Museum presents fifteen exhibition rooms dedicated to the history and traditions of the Sorbian people in Lower Lusatia through artifacts and documents.

The institution originated in 1908 as a Wendish farmer's room within the Cottbus Heimatmuseum before opening at its current location in June 1994.

The museum maintains the largest collection of Lower Sorbian traditional costumes, including regional Spreewald garments that reflect local craftsmanship and social traditions.

Exhibitions at the museum feature descriptions in both German and Sorbian languages, allowing visitors to understand cultural content in their preferred language.

Following extensive renovations completed in 2019, the museum reopened with updated permanent exhibitions showcasing Sorbian literature, music, folklore, and visual arts.
