On August 24 of this year, the B. Mailin Historical and Regional History Museum organized an exhibition of artifacts from stock collections titled “House Without Electricity.” Dedicated to the everyday items of past generations, the exhibition allows visitors to picture how people lived, worked, and managed households before electric lighting and modern appliances were introduced.
The exhibition displays everyday household items used by past generations: kerosene lamps, various types of lanterns, heavy irons, spindles, and other objects that accompanied people in their daily lives. Each artifact tells a story of its era, illustrating how families lit their homes, pressed clothes, spun yarn, sewed, and carried out household chores without modern electrical conveniences.
These artifacts serve as vital witnesses to history, helping preserve the memory of past domestic lifeways. The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to view these once-familiar items up close and gain deeper insight into the history of daily life.
