Multimedia presentation of the exhibition Folklore Festivals and Symbols of Identity

The Ethnographic Museum is an institution open to the general public whose main goal is to preserve ethnographic heritage and cultural identities and to understand the world in which we live. The main tasks of the museum are the systematic collection of cultural objects, their preservation, museological processing, professional and scientific study and exhibition. In achieving its goals, the Museum communicates with visitors, institutions, interested communities and users and encourages the acceptance of ethnology as a science of people and their culture.

The Ethnographic Museum organized an exhibition Folklore Festivals and Symbols of Identity, which presented traditional culture and folklore in Croatia. The exhibition was presented to mark the International Folklore Festival, which has been held in Zagreb for over half a century. In one of the exhibition setup, various forms of folk costumes, their creation and cultural and artistic influence on the history of folklore are presented.

Background

The Ethnographic Museum decided to complete the presentation of its exhibition Folklore Festivals and Symbols of Identity with multimedia content and interaction. The aim of the project is to offer visitors the opportunity to explore the exhibition, view digital publications, and try various entertaining content.

Challenge

Deliver a quality visually impressive, and at the same time cost-effective solution for a multimedia presentation that will be well noticed and accepted by visitors of the Ethnographic Museum.

Our approach

The solution needed to be equipped with a package of centrally managed multimedia applications, and in the creative part of the project it was necessary to study exhibition topics, develop visual content and design user interfaces.

Solutions

With the application of our products: PandoPad® Manager, PandoPad® Applications and PandoPad® FLOOR units, all interactive services necessary for informing and presenting the exhibition have been realized. Set of the museum is designed with special visual identity of the exhibition, whose graphic elements were used in the preparation of interactive applications.

The interactive kiosk contains a set of PandoPad applications that provide basic information about the exhibition, the possibility of testing knowledge through fun content, sending an e-card, etc.

In this example, we see the PandoPad® eCard Selfie application through which users can select one of the offered images and send a virtual / digital postcard using the integrated e-mail system.

The rules of the PandoPad® Puzzle application are simple and are intuitive to kids. The challenge is to solve the puzzle with different levels of difficulty. Like all other PandoPad applications, PandoPad® Puzzle can easily be adapted to suit customer’s visual branding.
