The Sorbs (Wends) are known for their folk art, craftsmanship, fine art, literature and music. The Sorbian folk culture has always been a very significant link between the German and Sorbian people. One example is the Sorbian (Wendish) tradition of colouring and decorating Easter eggs, which is popular amongst German people as well. In the two museums we visited, we saw examples of Sorbian (Wendish) needlework, painting, books, musical instruments, ceramics, woodwork and textiles.
