The concept and content of the exposition were developed by the museum’s Education Department in collaboration with biologists Vaida Survilienė, Saulius Karalius and Arūnas Grušas. The visual design was created by the creative studio DADADA and implemented by UAB “Šmikis”.
The exposition aims to introduce visitors to the reasons why animals end up in this centre and to offer possible solutions for creating a safer, more sustainable and cleaner world. This idea is reflected in its title, “I change – sea changes.”
The exposition and its furniture were made from panels produced entirely from waste materials, packaging and microplastics collected from oceans and seas. The tabletops were manufactured from recycled yogurt containers, regenerated medical equipment no longer in use and similar materials. These panels were combined with plywood offcuts and tempered glass. Even the chairs in the centre are examples of reuse – old chairs have been given a second life simply by being reupholstered with a new fabric.
