In the country’s cultural capital, an ethnograhic center founded in 1909 moves into a long container that aspires to be a symbol of national prosperity in the wake of regained independence.

The project questioned the competition rules and called for a new site, proposing physical and symbolic continuity for the Soviet airfield runway built on the grounds of the mansion that was the museum’s first home.
