Exhibition House Tells
Brief description of the project
Jelgava was mercilessly burned down during the Second World War. The memories of the old city are preserved only by a small street with a few houses, and one of them is the Jelgava Old Town House — an architectural monument of national importance, one of the oldest and most valuable wooden residential houses in Jelgava (dating from the end of the 18th century). The restoration of the building embodies respect for what the city has survived so that when visiting it, residents, both young and old, would feel, respect and believe in the value of history. Through the exhibition, the walls of the house begin to speak. The house tells, shows and projects its experiences, allows us to hear the sounds of the days long gone and transports us to another world — now lost but still valuable.
