ALFRED BIEDERMANN'S PALACE

HISTORY IN MOTION: AN AUDIO TALE OF THE BIEDERMANN'S PALACE

ABOUT THE GUIDE

The audio guide is a collection of 13 recordings with photos telling the story of the Alfred Biedermann’s Palace and Park Complex. They include the history of the Biedermann family, former owners of the building, detailed descriptions of the palace interiors with photographs of specific elements of the furnishings. There are also videos describing the contents of the rooms belonging to the University of Lodz Museum located in the building. These films allow a virtual tour of these spaces.

Marlena Kostrzewa  

  

Zuzanna Kozicka  

  

Magdalena Krzeszewska  

  

The project was created as part of Dr. Karol Jóźwiak's seminar, with support from Katarzyna Urbaniak.
