Text description provided by the architects. New permanent exhibition for the Kysuce Museum. “History of Čadca and surroundings” Space for the exhibition. We are opening doors on the second floor of the Kysuce Museum. We do not enter a corridor, but a kind of foreground of the exhibition. It is illuminated thanks to the new window and open door. You can also see directly into the exhibition through it. The floor flows from space to space. We're curious about the history of our town, so we enter the exhibition.

The tectonically structured space and suppressed materiality really make the historical objects, memories, and artwork stand out. It doesn't compete with them. It doesn't try to show. Instead, it gives them space. It doesn't distinguish by size, type, and the way it is presented.
