Interactive legend

It is a multisensory, engaging sightseeing path in which visitors from "passive" narrative participants become "active" heroes of the story. The scenario of this variant of the exhibition includes interactive stands with special tasks waiting for the participants. The tasks are so designed to be intellectually, manually and emotionally involving. The guests of Rzeszowskie Piwnice form a team whose task is to discover the treasure of Rzeszów. Visitors have at their disposal an activity pack - items that will help the participants of the adventure to solve some of the tasks.

The amazing adventure begins with a journey into ancient times. There, the mystery of the nearby wetlands awaits the visitors - taking part in the interactive legend, they will try to unravel the mystery of the name Rzeszów. Their task is to help the diplomat of Casimir the Great on a dangerous mission to the Golden Horde. The stake is considerable - if they manage to succeed, the king will reward Pakosławic by giving him Rzeszów and vast lands for his property. After getting acquainted with the profile of the diplomat, visitors will travel east with him to the Khan ...

And this is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey into the history and heritage of our city, involving the several hundred years of ruling the city by the Rzeszowski Family and other families ruling Rzeszów until the city was sold by the Lubomirski Family in the mid-nineteenth century. Visitors will understand the phenomenon of tolerance of the inhabitants, learn about the characteristic themes of the main religions present in the city: Christianity, Orthodoxy and Judaism and getting familiar with many legends and stories, the most important events in the history of the city. They must visit landmarks from those times: a fabric shop, an inn and a colonial shop.

Leaving the fair, visitors encounter two significant events from the mid-nineteenth century. The first one is the great fire of Rzeszów (1842), which devastated the city and at the same time contributed to the reconstruction according to modern fire protection principles. The element of fire also serves as a pretext for the story of Ignacy Łukasiewicz, whose inventions revolutionized the methods of lighting cities and houses and laid the foundations for the modern oil industry.

Visitors also find multimedia islands discussing, among others: plans for the creation of the Centralny Okręg Przemysłowy, post-war industry in Rzeszów (aviation, an interactive replica of a jet engine), cultural achievements of people associated with the city, sports achievements.
