A significant number of people living in villages around Krasnystaw dealt with weaving, hence the exhibition depicts subsequent stages of work from flax harvesting to manufacturing fabric on a weaving workbench.

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries there were a number of craftsmen guilds in Krasnystaw. Those included pottery, blacksmithing, cooperage, shoemaking, carpentry and wheelwright, and they are all represented by such exhibits as:

• Clay pots, bowls, double-pots, pitchers and other clay vessels shaped on a potter’s wheel.
• Blacksmith’s tools and goods, among which there are blacksmith bellows, an anvil, hoes, sickles, horseshoes, balcony railing, wayside crosses, stave vessels such as barrels, casks, firkins and churns.
• Carpentry workbench equipped with jack-planes, drills, saws and wheelwright’s workbench.

A number of those objects were part of the equipment of a cottage located in Krasnystaw County at the turn of the centuries.
