In Capitan’s house

The Exhibition in the Captain's house

" Urban lifestyle" Exhibition

 The premises in the house (three rooms, a kitchen and a hallway) demonstrate with original belongings and furnishing a restoration of a town house of an average well-to-do family from the beginning of the 20th c.: a bedroom with two Vienna- type beds, with silk covers, a dresser and a corner mirror with a dressing table; a children’s room also with a Vienna- type bed, and the typical “beshik” – a standing iron children’s cradle; a dining-room with a big table and a window seat; a kitchen with a hearth for cooking and storage of the utensils.

          The most spacious and the most representative room is the hallway with a table, wicker chairs, window seats and a parlor dresser – a place to receive guests.

          Comparatively modest with its household belongings and its arrangement, the house with wooden shingles ceilings, variegated rugs and long window seats enhances the feeling of neatness and coziness.
