Buttering, braiding, etc.: The Farm Museum's new program is here © Julia Huss
Schöngeising – Many people always want to look into the future, but a look into the past can be at least as exciting.
The Jexhof Farm Museum dares to take a step into the past by bringing young and old closer to earlier times.
Dirk Hoogen, head of communications at Sparkasse Fürstenfeldbruck, describes this year’s program at the Farm Mueum Jexhof as a “real cultural highlight”.
The Sparkasse has been supporting the Jexhof financially for years.
“We like to do it,” emphasizes Hoogen.
Long live sport
This year too, the team led by museum director Dr.
Reinhard Jakob is not resting on the fact that the number of visitors, with more than 23,000 in 2023, is slowly approaching what it was before the pandemic.
Quite the opposite, because this year it's all about sport.
Sport is the central theme that the museum will deal with in 2024.
The starting signal for sticking with the sporting theme comes with the exhibition “Long live sport: From the beginnings of the sports movement in the Brucker Land” and the third Jexhof run in June.
New this year: pottery and braiding
In addition to exhibitions, events relating to butter making, smoking and natural cosmetics are also very popular.
New this year: pottery and braiding.
The Jexhof Farm Museum Support Association also played a key role in the program and is responsible for, among other things, the sale of bread and the May devotions.
Of course, there will also be a special focus on children in 2024.
Whether it's a children's birthday party on the farm, museum tours by children for children or craft lessons in the Saturday workshop - there is something for everyone.
The living Jexhof
Special highlights include the Walpurgis Night celebration in April, the Robber Days in August and the cheese or Advent market.
The program is colorful and full.
“You have to recognize that there is life at the Jexhof and that means that you don’t just offer one event a month,” says museum director Jakob, who presented his last program after more than 18 years before heading into his well-deserved retirement.
