Permanent Exhibition at Konaka History Museum in Vidin

The project for the permanent exhibition at Konaka History Museum presents the millennia-long history of the Vidin region, unfolding within the building’s historic spaces. The architectural concept deliberately emphasizes their atmosphere and inherent values, transforming them into active carriers of the narrative.

The exhibition is based on the thematic structure developed by the museum’s scientific team and follows the principle of linear chronology.  The artifacts are placed at the center of attention, strategically positioned in the core of each gallery, where they resonate both as part of a collective narrative and as bearers of individual stories.

The modular exhibition elements function as visual and spatial storytellers, revealing both the tangible and intangible heritage of the region. Designed as independent museum furniture, they do not affect the building’s structure. Complementary seating elements provide spaces for rest, contemplation, and a deeper engagement with the exhibition.
