Easter – come by and work with us

Hjem // Arrangementer // Easter – come by and work with us

We are painting like the porcelain painters and washing like the washerwomen during Easter at the Workers Museum.

This Easter, we delve into women’s work of the past. Come by and work with us in the backyard as we do the big laundry like in the old days. Or take a seat in the Banquet Hall and tinker with rag dolls. You can also try your hand at painting plates in the workshop. When it’s time to rest your feet, visit the 50’s coffee bar, which offers biscuit cake, cocoa/coffee, and Easter eggs, of course!

Easter activities:

🐣 Paint paper plates in the workshop – former porcelain painter Karin Johansen, teaches how to paint protest-platters (Sorry, only in Danish).
🐣 Visit the party hall and make your own rag doll
🐣 Find the backyard and join in the big laundry
🐣 Search for handicrafts created throughout time in the exhibition WOMEN’S LIFE

Protest Paper Plates

The porcelain painters worked at Royal Copenhagen factory. In 1976, they went on a strike for equal pay, and in an attempt to raise funds for the strike fund, they sold paper plates with the factory’s iconic patterns.

We invite you to try your hand at the protest paper plates, where you can learn important messages and create protest platters. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Open-faced sandwiches for lunch
In our restaurant, Café & Øl-Halle, you can combine your museum visit with an Easter lunch, but remember to book a table. The old traditional Danish lunch restaurant is popular, and table reservations are necessary.
