To run the Museum Application at home, you need to download QR codes. Scanning the QR code in the application switches it into AR mode displaying the appropriate objects.

The LITTLE LITHUANIA AR application presents currently non-existent buildings from the territory of Little Lithuania: a farmer’s farm from the former Pempen (now Pempiai in Lithuania) and a fisherman’s house from the former fishing village of Gilge (now Matrosovo in the Kaliningrad Oblast of the Russian Federation).

The application is free of charge and can be downloaded from the Google Play or App Store online stores. In order to take a virtual tour of the farm buildings of a farmer and a fisherman from Little Lithuania, after installing the application, scan the QR codes placed on the boards located at the excavated foundations of the farm facilities.

1. All descriptions of the exhibits are also available in the form of a voice-over.

1. Fisherman’s house from Gilge

The model presents a fisherman’s house with open porches on wooden hand-carved beams. The roof is thatched, the top of it adorned by a decorative element. We enter the house through the porch leading to a spacious hall. We see the open hearth with utensils for preparing and serving dishes. In the following chamber we see a dining room, a tiled stove built into the wall, an antique clock.

The model presents the cellar located in the northern part of the homestead. The roof of the building is thatched, the top of it adorned by a decorative element. In the first room there are wooden barrels, in the following one – food supplies and hay.

3. Stable of the Pempen homestead.

The model presents a thatched-roofed stable with a decorative element on top. On one side we see a stack of wood and wooden wheelbarrows at the entrance. The roof overhangs served as a protection for small farm equipment. Inside we see a hay cart. In the brick part of the building there is a chamber for the sheep with the gate in the wall on the side of the yard. Next to it,
we see a chamber for the cattle and a pigsty. The driveway creates and seperates room for the stable. In the storage part under the roof we see hay.

and farm equipment such as wheelbarrows, sleigh, barrels.
