Museum of Eastern Lands in Lublin

The Museum of the Eastern Lands is a place where the past and present meet, a space for sharing personal experiences, family histories, documents, and memorabilia. It is a place for seeking ancestors and rebuilding broken connections. The concept of the permanent exhibition at the Museum of the Eastern Lands in Lublin is based on the mutual interpenetration of historical time, space, and ideas and phenomena. The exhibition presents the eastern lands as a space undergoing dynamic changes—with constantly shifting borders—but also as a place of broad cultural encounters, coexistence of people from diverse social, ethnic, and national backgrounds, and simultaneously as an image of these lands as a stronghold and homeland of Polish identity. The future museum will play a key role in building a shared memory of the eastern lands and their multicultural heritage, fostering a sense of identity. An interesting feature is treating the architecture and history of the building itself as part of the exhibition. Visitors, through VR glasses, will be able to transport themselves to selected periods in the life of the building and the city, discovering architecture, clothing, decorations, and events from times past.
