June 24th, 1937 in Lviv was a day like any other—the city was bustling with events and oozing culture, characterised by an all-around embodiment of modernity as it was considered in this era. Like many European cities, the history of Lviv is quite interesting, convoluted, and long-winding. It was always considered a city of innovation and modernity—as it turns out, in 1853 Lviv was the first European city to have streetlights. Many of us also know it as Lwów, as there was a time that the city was part of Poland (in fact, one of the inventors of the initial kerosene streetlight, Łukasiewicz, was Polish). This exhibition offers a look back in time to over 80 years ago, presenting a snapshot of Lviv focused on architecture and cultural life of the city that ultimately, a mere two years later and thereafter, would never be the same again.
