Temporary exhibition “Adel in Schlesien” is a cycle of international historical exhibitions created in German and Polish collaboration. Project in Legnica was a complex intervention and included arrangement of three exhibition halls, of a total area of 620 square meters, and renovation of the museum entrance area.

For the new entrance renovation a representative reception area was designed, with cloak room desk and custom made shelf dedicated for exhibitions and announcements of publishers cooperating with the museum.

Plan of the entrance area

The main challenge of that exhibition design was to find suitable manner of expression for such exhibits as sacred and post-mortem art. Its arrangement was supposed to introduce visitor into a specific, sublime mood. To provide feeling of vault or crypt two frames with dark niches were designed, in which the exhibits, such as medieval coffins and cemetery sculptures were placed.
