A journey through ancient Drenthe
The new permanent exhibition at the Drents Museum offers a dynamic and interactive experience that brings the history of Drenthe to life. Visitors are guided through fifteen rooms forming an adventurous labyrinth, featuring experiences ranging from a mammoth hunt to a traditional farmer’s wedding, and the discovery of the 12,000-year-old Pesse canoe.
Audiovisual immersion
The exhibition employs cutting-edge technologies, including soundscapes, interactive elements, and projections, enabling visitors to engage in activities like spear throwing and canoeing. Visual storytelling and a magical treasure hunt with the resident spirit Witte Maegie actively involve both young and old in the narrative.
Ata Tech played a key role in the technical realization of the exhibition, integrating advanced audiovisual technologies such as Genelec Power over Ethernet speakers for the soundscapes, interactive projections, and sensors that dynamically enhance the visitor experience.
Magical Lighting
Ata Tech provided the lighting for the exhibition spaces, including PLE LED solutions for dramatic object highlights and atmospheric enhancements. The company also designed custom-made star lamps for the corridors, adding to the magical and immersive experience. Additionally, Ata Tech executed the technical setup for interactive elements like the Pesse canoe, where visitors can steer their own adventure using paddles and projections.
The Time Companions, offering contemporary perspectives on history, are activated by sensors in the corridors and enrich the experience with a dynamic interplay of light and sound. This innovative approach makes the history of Drenthe tangible for all audiences.
Be captivated by the compelling stories, enchanting atmosphere, and state-of-the-art technology that bring the Drents Museum to life.
