Personal and accessible
Het Noordbrabants Museum, Den Bosch (NL), 2013
At Het Noordbrabants Museum, a personal, accessible experience is key. Multimedia elements involve visitors in the history of the province in an often playful way.
Meet Brueghel
Visitors meet Pieter Brueghel the Elder in his studio, hear modern artists like Guido Geelen talk enthusiastically about colours and materials, and accompany the Romans on a voyage of discovery through contemporary Brabant. Throughout the museum, information screens provide additional background information.
Discovery stations
A number of discovery stations were developed for children. On these interactive touchscreens, kids can play games and make artworks to leave behind. The archaeology room is especially popular with kids. Here, they’re swept back to the Noord-Brabant of 2,000 years ago through funny short films about Romans that pop up in all the multimedia features and an ancient farm that comes alive through projection mapping.
“It could easily lead to enthusiastic future archaeologists.”
Pien Hordijk, Archeologie Nederland —31 December 2014
Interactive floor
In the Brabant gallery, visitors take giant leaps through time, travelling from medieval Noord-Brabant all the way to the distant future. Walk through historical Den Bosch, predict the future in the “future arena”, and watch the history of the region unfold on an interactive map in the floor.
Frederick Henry
Meanwhile, local people talk your ear off in a range of dialects, and an apparition of Prince Frederick Henry materializes to report on the siege of Den Bosch.
