The multi-functional building of the Ventspils Seaside Open-Air Museum
Description
The multi-functional building of the Ventspils Seaside Open-Air Museum is being built on the site of the current structure; it will be a modern, visually appealing building that fits into the environment. It will house museum education programmes, the exhibition By the Sea and in the Lands: Traditional Lifestyles of Northern Kurzeme in the 19th-20th Centuries, Nature of Northern Kurzeme, restoration workshops and other museum working spaces. The Seaside Open-Air Museum’s surrounding territory will be developed, too.
Improvements made within the project
The construction and furnishing of the new multi-functional museum building will ensure the storage of the museum’s collections in accordance with the Regulations Regarding the National Holdings of Museums. State-of-the-art restoration workshops will be created, as well as a special room for museum educational activities. A new, attractive exhibition will be set up, resonating with the open-air exhibition and significantly reducing the seasonality of the Seaside Open-Air Museum.
