On the third day, we visited
Bielsk-Podlaski, a historical town of ca. 25000 inhabitants, established on the 12th century. Bielsk-Podlaski is s
outh from Białystok, on the region that has Belorussian, Lithuanian and Polish features in its culture.
The lively Museum of Bielsk-Podlaski is completely focused on traditionally decorated hand towels and preserving hand skills. Exhibitions, publications and workshops all support their aim to make the hand towels and culture related to them better known. What a wonderful souvenir: we had a refreshing workshop where we painted a traditional Polish flower pattern on a cotton bag.
The House Museum ("Little Motherland Museum") in Studziwody was a nostalgic experience. The museum and its keeper Doroteusz Fionik preserves the memory of a Belorusian farmer family and their lifestyle.
