Zinke Villa

On the other hand, the exhibition “Golden Age of Lipik” is an open space in which the scenography and art installations depicting Lipik in the 19th century will be displayed. The emphasis in this art exhibition is on the historical presentation of the city in the context of its thermal heritage, from prehistory, antiquity and the Middle Ages, through the first rulers of the Lipik region who valorised Lipik’s thermal water, to the cultural growth of Lipik as a tourist centre in the pre-war Europe of the 20th century.

The art exhibition comprises nine interactive exhibits that will create new experiences for visitors. The specific landscape of the public garden, which was the focal point of the entire Lipik – Wandelbahn, will serve as the initial scenography. Walking through it, visitors will be able to enjoy a virtual 19-century train ride, get an old-fashioned photo of an authentic photographer from the same period, learn about the history of Lipik, visit Kursalon and try gambling, dancing or playing, take a carriage ride through Lipik and much more.

On the second floor there is a multifunctional hall of 345 square meters. It is intended for a wide range of events such as presentations, workshops, concerts, plays, exhibitions and art residencies. The capacity of the hall is 100 to 120 seats, and the facility will be fully adapted to people with reduced mobility and with hearing and visual impairments.
