Exhibitions

House tells

The exposition at Vecpilsētas Street 14 in Jelgava city is based on the theme “House Tells”. The House, as a woman, guides visitors through the exposition and tells them about her life. Since the main rooms of the exposition are within a historic apartment, information about the history, reconstruction, and restoration of the House is communicated to visitors through everyday sounds and visual messages about the household of the time. There are three “story chests” in three rooms, each containing different information about wooden architecture – the city, building and details. Visitors can explore the contents of the chests interactively by opening their various parts (drawers, lids, etc.). The more drawers the visitor opens, the more in-depth knowledge they can learn about each exposition theme. The exhibits are spatial objects freely placed in the centre of the room, thus respecting the historical heritage of the building and avoiding invasive solutions.
