Take
the virtual
Ożarów tour through the Museum's collection
of both photographs and testimony of those who lived in this city
through the mid to late 1940s.
Where you see the
earphones icon, follow the link to hear the audio testimony. Where
you see a
video icon, clicking on the link will take
you directly to a short video clip, so have your speakers on before
clicking on the link.
The
Ożarów family tour will evolve over time. For now,
click on any of the page titles below to begin your tour and return
back to this page to continue to the next "station."
Imagine
you are in a "real" museum and you decide to take an audio tour of a
certain aspect of the Museum's collection. You put on the infrared
earphones the museum provides you, and you perhaps receive a paper
or brochure that explains to you where in the museum all the
material relative to an author or subject is (here it's the town of Ożarów), and you follow the directions provided for the
tour and then proceed from room to room, from station to station.
So
enjoy the tour!
