Aim of the project: – to strengthening high cultural value mobile cultural services through cultural cooperation using innovative technologies and good practices
During the implementation of the project, using a valuable example of 18th century wooden architecture - the Aristavėlė Manor of the Lithuanian Folk Museum and its polychrome research, a service of high artistic value will be created - an interactive “Aristavėlė Manor”.
The traveling Aristavėlė manor is a tent - a dome, which will contain equipment and interactive tools that will allow the visitor to feel as if he were in a real manor in a certain era.
The aim is to create a product that would be easily transported and relocated throughout Lithuania and would be accessible to all residents, regardless of their financial and travel opportunities, and would be understandable to residents of all ages or education.
It will present the culture of this particular manor, as well as Lithuanian manors in general, through different senses (touch, hearing, smell, taste, vision), bringing this cultural service to 10 Lithuanian regions in Lithuania and 2 in Norway.

- To create an interactive service of high artistic value - “Traveling Aristavėlė Manor” and to present it in ten Lithuanian regions and two Lithuanian communities in Norway.
