Multimedia presentation of the exhibition The Greatest Croatian Ethnomusicologists

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.

For the occasion of the Night of Museums event, the Ethnographic Museum presented the character and work of two famous Croatian ethnomusicologists, Franjo K. Kuhač and Božidar Širola, at the exhibition The Greatest Croatian Ethnomusicologists. They have made an immense contribution to the history of Croatian music and their collection of tangible and intangible traditional heritage is part of the holdings and documentation of the Ethnographic Museum in Zagreb.

Background

The Ethnographic Museum decided to complete the presentation of its exhibition The Greatest Croatian Ethnomusicologists 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 The Greatest Croatian Ethnomusicologists have been realized. The 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, PandoPad® Quiz allows you to prepare fun and interactive quizzes. Some of the features include the possibility of asking different number of questions, multiple-choice questions, gauge the time needed to respond, and the presentation of the best results.

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.
