This exhibition presents some of the most prominent examples of modernism in Lviv - from public to residential architecture. These buildings not only show the architectural achievements of their time, but also tell the stories of the architects and the inhabitants, past and present. In addition to photographs, texts and archival drawings, the exhibition also includes visual material based on 3D scans of Lviv's modernist buildings. The scans have also produced an audio recording, which includes the background of the buildings and their environment.
