The Art of travel lessons learned from 2.0 museum project
The project “The art of travel” - a “Changing museum in changing world” contest winner - was implemented in the Sverdlovsk regional Museum of Local History in 2013-2014.
Our goal was to interpret the museum- based collection so that it could become relevant to local community life.
Travelers’ communities of Yekaterinburg were involved in different stages of the project.
The exhibition absorbed stories and energy of the Ural residents living in different epochs.
When it happened, 500 or 5 years ago made no difference to us. A passion for opening new worlds does not have time constraint.
It was important for us to make a museum a stage where journeys may start.
The exhibition was on from May to July, 2014. Then it started its tour round other museums of the region. In January, 2015 it will be in Kurgan and come back to the Sverdlovsk region in April, 2015.
In every new city we rearrange exposition space representing showcases of local audience.
Major steps, approaches, techniques and conclusions associated with the project implementation are reflected in the research available on this site («The book»).
