This specifically means that the so-called "Corner House's" first floor and the basement will be open to the general public for sure next year, with money granted previously (from the emergency budget, EUR 21,532) for central heating and "winterizing" the two floors.
The money allocated recently (EUR 78,000) will be for the exhibition itself. "Our plan is to sign a contract with the Museum of Occupation on securing all that will be necessary, including tour guides," Melbarde pointed out.
