The place

Located in Nyköping, Sweden, the museum tells the story of the people in this ancient area of Sweden. All their major exhibitions as well as their complete collections recently moved into a new building, calling for a brand new take on storytelling.

People, places, some 80.000 objects and millions of pictures called for a brand new take on storytelling.

The brief

The new building has a high-performance network in anticipation of future expansion, requiring a network-based and expandable solution. Interactive stations were requested to navigate and present the vast collections as well as to teach visitors about old handicrafts.

The project

The museum opened with about 60 video and/or audio spots, of which many are interactively controlled. Each spot runs PIXILAB Player software on a small NUC computer. Content can easily be updated over the network. Power management and scheduling is also catered for. The intuitive Blocks software allows the in-house staff to produce anything from simple slideshows to multi-layered interactive presentations, with some areas also involving projection on walls, floors and furniture, accompanied by synchronized illumination, highlighting relevant objects.
