A Nighttime Gallery Tour: “The Lost City”

We invite you to spend an evening by the Old Narva model and journey through a city that has disappeared but lives on in memories, paintings and museum stories. In the dimly lit hall, a guide uses a flashlight to gradually illuminate different city blocks, streets, places of worship and homes. The beam of light becomes a kind of guide through pre-war Narva: it follows once-familiar streets, pauses at the façades of old buildings, peeks into courtyards and helps us imagine what the city looked like decades ago. We see Narva as earlier generations of its residents knew it: with narrow streets, beautiful stone buildings, church towers and cosy courtyards. The journey continues with works of art from the collection of Narva Museum. Paintings and old city views bring us closer to the lost world and help us see not only its architecture but also the people who lived among these streets and houses. Gradually, individual buildings, images and people’s stories come together to form a complete picture of Old Narva—a city that no longer exists but remains an important part of Narva’s memory. This evening is not simply a tour, but a quiet encounter with a lost city whose streets emerge from the darkness once more in the light of a flashlight.
