The idea came first – then the time came for applying for co-financing the overhaul works and adjusting the underground space for the purposes of a multimedia exhibition. The application was successful: the cost of building the museum shall amount to PLN 2.2 million, whereas the half of this amount will be financed by the Regional Operational Programme. A visit to 'Piwnica pod Fortuną' ('Basement under Fortuna') will definitely be an exceptional attraction. The tourist will get to know the history of Lublin by watching multimedia presentations on 23 touchscreens, listening to distinctive sounds and immersing themselves in the unique atmosphere of the town which Lublin used to be a long time ago.
Particular rooms of the basement will be devoted to the following themes: 'Centrum i peryferia' ('The Centre and the Suburbs') will present Lublin in its Golden Age – the 16th century – when it was one of the most important Polish cities. By moving to the next room, we will enter the house of a rich Lublin townsman from the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. There, we will be able to sit on a richly ornamented chair, and to watch a short clip about the lives of people in Lublin 400 years ago. The screening of the clip will be accompanied by the sounds of a Renaissance lute. Three rooms will be devoted to the multicultural past of Lublin: the first one will focus on the Catholics and Protestants, the second will depict the members of the Orthodox Church, and the third one will present the Jewish culture. In the 'Podziemia i mroki' ('The Darkness of the Underground') room, we will see instruments of tortures and the dungeon underneath the Tribunal, where they used to hold criminals.
