Treignes invites young and old to take part in various horrible activities in Treignies on 30 October 2016.
Are you scared of the big bad wolf? Then watch your step when you are in the woods near the Eco-museum of Viroin, or you just might end up being his next meal!
In the corridors of the Espace Arthur Masson, don't trust your neighbour. Is he really what he seems? Do you dare visit the Musée Malgré-Tout where you might be transformed into a werewolf?
Grab your fancy dress costumes, Treignes awaits you for a spine-chilling day!
L'Ecomusée du Viroin vous accueille avec son exposition photos Des Bêtes et des Hommes consacrée aux relations entre humains et animaux.
Issues des collections de l'Ecomusée du Viroin, les photos témoignent de la relation étroite qui unit les hommes à ces compagnons amicaux.
Evolution de notre société
De la domestication à la collaboration, remontez l'histoire pour mieux comprendre le rôle des animaux dans la société rurale traditionnelle et l'évolution du rapport entre l'homme et l'animal en l'espace d'un siècle. Mais aussi, l'impact de l'industrialisation et l'émergence de la société de consommation sur toutes les dimensions de la vie paysanne.
Des illustrations fortes et percutantes de la société d'hier et d'aujourd'hui !
