The first exhibition in the museum is called “Hero’s Journey: The Last Week of Summer”. Its main idea is to tell how a child in the age of active cognition independently explores the city as an environment of his life. There are different stories in it, but they all end on returning home with a new experience and a new understanding of yourself and your city. An amazing thing about this exhibition is that it is completely interactive. Watch other people’s video stories about urban childhood and record your own, draw, write, take quizzes, look at photos (and bring your own – they will be scanned and given away) and tell about the routes that you first overcame on your own. When you walk along Rynok Square, be sure to go down to the dungeon of Lviv City Hall between coffee – it will be interesting.

! FESTrepublic is a city within a city. This space has a special atmosphere, its own traditions and values, and even the interior resembles city streets with various signs and plaques. Here, just a 20-minute walk from Rynok Square, are some of the best festivals, parties and themed events in Lviv. In addition, top DJs from around the world and Ukrainian bands also often perform.
Prior to construction, FESTrepublic on 24–26 Staroznesenska Street abandoned the old Halychsklo factory, which was used to make glass bottles. The area was empty due to the lack of an owner who could revive the plant for a long time. So there was an idea to build a space where tourists and Lviv residents can spend time outside the Rynok Square.
At! FESTrepublic, everyone will find something to their liking. And in the break between entertainments, we advise you to try coffee there, because, regardless of the position, everyone knows how to brew it well in! FEST.
