The exhibition is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Open Air Museum of Lithuania. It features 27 photographs that capture the museum buildings in their natural environment, even before their trip to Rumšiškės. Some of them “left” their native place very quickly, while others waited for a couple of decades to be relocated. Some buildings are easy to recognize – they have only become more beautiful in the museum, while others have changed almost beyond recognition.
We hope that the exhibition will encourage visitors to appreciate the invisible side of museum workers work – the ability to see the value in a dilapidated building, find a suitable place in the museum and bring it to a second life.
The exhibition will be on display in the museum town’s Plungė house until 2026 August 30’th.
Sincere thanks to the photographer Rimgaudas Žaltauskas, who revived the negatives stored in the museum’s collections.
Curator – senior museum worker Sigita Žukauskaitė
