While for developed countries of West and USA the preservation and representation of industrial heritage and also the development of industrial tourism have already become a kind of a trend, for postsoviet countries, many of which are only entering the stage of industrial heritage, are facing a lot of problems in discourse of industrial heritage preservation. After obtaining independence the problem of industrial heritage preservation for Lithuania becomes especially actual, as most factories and plants are closing, and the question what to do with their equipment and buildings arouses.

Smells, tastes, sounds – what marks the stages of our life: childhood, youth, adulthood and old ages. They especially stay in our mind, able to bring memories back to life. Smells and sounds also mark the living space. In one of the Minsk outskirts, nowadays in the center of the capital – in Starazhouka – most of the smells, tastes and sounds have always been connected with factories, plants and workshops functioning.
Their work have influenced in different ways on local citizens and especially on children world view. Industrial heritage of Starazhouka is not only interesting as a material object, but also as an image and factor of upbringing
