  The visitor is greeted by the installation "Forgotten Craft". It consists of objects that carry a certain semantic meaning. Rope, scuba gear, diving mask – attributes of extraction of stained oak. Lumber and lumpy elements of the tree trunk are a necessary supply of raw materials. The workbench and tools are carpentry, and the sculpture "Boat" is a creative product of carpentry. The geological survey map of 1935 proves the serious attitude of the state to the topic of the stained oak in the past. At the same time, the installation is beautifully designed and immediately immerses the viewer in the essence of the main theme of the exhibition.
  
  Further along the wall of the hall, the installation turns into a series of decorative sculptures of natural forms. The silent sculptural beauty, the emphasized naturalness of the objects, the natural colors and shades of the stained oak vividly demonstrate the uniqueness of the fossil material.
  
  On the opposite wall, on the stands, there is information about the stained oak and the activities of the company "Stained Oak" LLC. In addition to the poster information, in order to fully understand the natural origin and inaccessibility of the fossil material, the visitor of the exhibition is presented with a small photo session from the extraction of blackened oak in two time periods of 1947 and 2003. The photo session is originally decorated with the installation "Tree".
  
  A vaulted room. A unique material must have specific, "magical" properties. They are reflected in the installation "Wish Book". Visitors to the exhibition are invited to personally, individually, and intimately interact with the stained oak tree. Sitting in a chair-throne made from the roots of this tree, a person can fully feel and feel the powerful natural energy of the fossil material, share their innermost desires, and the "magic pen and book" will serve as a means of communication. The room has its own individual atmosphere. Its walls are decorated with several decorative panels, the central place among which is occupied by the diptych "Four Elements". The overall design of the room encourages the visitor to take a personal photo as a keepsake, which is allowed and welcome.
  
  The second exhibition hall is called the Oak Leaf Gallery. The main exhibition object is the sculpture "Oak Leaf", an iconic symbol of the gallery.

Along the perimeter of the hall, various decorative panels are placed on the walls, specially made at the company "Stained Oak" LLC for this exhibition. These panels clearly reflect the main direction of the workshop's work – the production of works of art, products and objects of decorative and applied art.
  
  The building itself, an architectural monument in which the exhibition is located, has not been ignored. Three stands are located in the passage corridor, in the sealed windows-niches of the old courtyard facade.
