Temporary exhibition: Modern Round about Baltic- designers from countries around the Baltic Sea. Travelling exhibition: “At the water's edge” displays memories from shores of the Baltic Sea when the sea was divided by the Iron Curtain. The exhibition's design is based on artist Hanna Sjöberg's own childhood memories from Gotland. The exhibition is an international artistic memory project with museums in all Baltic countries and it was presented by curator Angelica Blomgren from Gotlands Museum at last year’s conference in Vilnius. https://translate.google.se/translate?hl=sv&sl=pl&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.muzeum gdynia.pl%2F Estonian Open Air Museum The museum turns 60 years this year.
