The Moving Mini-Museum of
Carved Wood by Elen Uralova.
The idea of creation of the museum was considered profitable and
prospective from it's very birth. The "Mini-Museum" is just a
little bit transformered portable tourist-table with a curtain and wheels.
About two hundred pieces of wooden miniature can be placed on it simultaneously.

Mini-museum decorated“The Festival Roma-AMALA -2000”.The
wooden composition dedicated to the life of Jesus Christ was
demonstrated
to the pupils of the 2-8 forms(Kiev, Lviv)...
Moving along the street of different citys ( Odessa, Kiev, Lviv, Ivano-Francivsk,
Galith) we have noticed that "Mini-museum" were seen by more
people than if the exibition was situated in an exibition -hall for a month
in each city . Neither we move by car, nor by bike but only on foot this
is our secret.
|
During the celebration of Independence Day in Lviv (1998) we
were presenting Elens' works in the street of the city. There was a chess-set,
dedicated to the 400th anniversary of B.Khmelnitsky birth.We should notice
that the first presentation of the set took place in Oleska Castle (near
Lviv),at the celebration of Anniversary B. Khmelnitskiy (1995 ).

The efficiency of the Museum increases when it is demonstrated
in schools, boarding houses ,orphanages, hospitals , etc.It is rather possible
to move room a room to another one fastly.One may freely pass narrow passages
(between beds or desks).The "Mini-museum" can by fastly installated
ant put together again( less than hour) so in the course of a day it's
is possible to visit several places, pretty distant each from another.

We offer you to take part in demonstrations of these
works in order to "sow the reasonable, the kind, the eternal..."
