The National Library of Belarus jointly with the Belarussian Union of the Folk Art Craftsmen prepared the exhibition of items, which continue and strengthen many centuries’ traditions of the Belarussian folk art directly or indirectly.
From the ancient times until now, Belarussians preserved many types and kinds of traditional fine arts: woodcutting, pottery, farriery, weaving, embroidering, paintings, braiding from the natural materials. More than 100 folk arts’ craftsmen arrived to the capital from all the districts of Belarus with their artworks.

- Collection of dishes from vine of amateur union "Verbachka";
