Abstract

Museum items testify with their layered significance to the cultural and economic past of the environment where they were created and utilized. Traditional items used for the preparation of food as well as the organization of work of those times are presented in an authentic kitchen room in the attic of the Municipal Museum. In the salon of those times, on the second floor of the Gabrielis palace there is an exhibit of the imported items used to serve and consume food prepared in the kitchen. It can be assumed that life in the palaces of the city was organized in such way that the dishes and the cutlery produced locally matched the kitchen ambient, while representative items were used in the representative part of the palace. Thus, the whole process from the purchase to the preparation, serving and consumption of food is documented by the museum exhibits. When the conditions for an adequate exhibition of the items are met, the exhibition rooms will be made complete with items that will furnish the impression of authenticity.
