The aim of the article. The article is devoted to the problems of bread boarding of hot manufactures (pottery, metallurgy, glass making and others) in historical museums. The role of the layout in the creation of museum communication is not sufficiently appreciated. Much of the museum communication depends on the attractiveness of the exposition itself. The layout greatly increases the attractiveness of the exposition. However, mock-ups are very rare in museum expositions. Models of archaeological sites are even less common. Mostly such models are one of the central stands in the exposition. The creation of mock-ups of archaeological monuments for museum expositions to this day largely remains the work of the museum alone. One of the authors has already developed the scientific basis for creating mock-ups. On this basis, in this article, the problems of proto-chimney furnace prototyping, single-deck, two-tier furnaces are considered. For the sake of clarity of the first primitive methods of roasting, it is possible to use the model of an improvised furnace. They are the so-called ash-rooms of the Bilogroodivka culture. In the subsequent history, there are two main designs of pottery furnaces. The first of them had a side furnace, the hot air from which entered a special burning chamber. However, the air had different temperatures at the bottom of the burning chamber and under its ceiling. The most perfect design was a stove, the furnace was located under the burning chamber. In this case, the hot air completely covered all the dishes. Such a design of pottery furnaces is already known in the Neolithic of the Ancient Near East. The authors analyse the excavation materials of pottery furnaces that have been made in recent years, with the goal of creating scientifically based mock-ups. Conclusion.Also, the evolution of the metallurgical case is examined using the example of three methods of melting metal. According to the oldest method, the crucible with the charge was covered with a second crucible and placed on a pile of charcoal. Then the coal was set on fire and four metallurgists with nozzles on long wooden pipes became to the crucible. They carried out the blast. Also, the evolution of the metallurgical case is examined using the example of three methods of melting metal. And in the era of late bronze melting was carried out in special ovens with blowing. The described metallurgical devices of early and late bronze allow creating their models. The authors come to the conclusion that models can become central stands in museum expositions.
