Permanent exhibition for Lapmežciems museum
2018
Dd has created a permanent exhibition for Lapmežciems museum. The exhibition tells the story of the fisherman and his craft, paying close attention to the historical background of the fishing practices of the time and their impact and influence on daily life.
The exhibition opens with a timeline, recounting the rich history of Lapmežciems, told through artefacts recovered in archaeological excavations, as well as historical documents, maps, and drawings. The main hall features, among various everyday objects and work tools, a recreation of the fisherman’s kitchen and living room. Interactive installations allow the public to become acquainted with the cultural and natural environment of Lapmežciems–the old place-names and the birds that nest near Lapmežciems.
