Multimedia - extension of the public library’s offer and adaptation of the premises of the city hall in Ostrów Wielkopolski to meet cultural objectives
The project involved adaptation of unused rooms in a part of the tenement house located at ul. Kolejowa 24b and the ground floor of the city hall located at ul. Rynek 1 in Ostrów Wielkopolski so that they would serve cultural purposes. A multi-library was established in the tenement house located in the city centre – a place designated for cultural meetings and development of the local community. The ground floor of the town hall was adopted to serve permanent exhibitions: an exhibition imitating a fragment of a town street from the beginning of the 20th century and an exhibition decorated in the style of an old scafe (Museum Café).
The following works were realized as part of the project:
- Multi-library (ul. Kolejowa 24b) special zones (cultural stops) were established in the building, e.g. devoted to music, technology, literature, film.
