Koldinghus - BEYOND ICONS 2017

We worked on a solution that can help smaller museums attract more people, by creating a popup system that is transportable with an interior that can be modified for each exhibition. Together with a local history museum, we created a teaser exhibition that evokes curiosity in people, and a link that encourages visitors to come to the museum. They can put grain in a package, specially made for the exhibition, and grind it into usable flour for their use.
The exhibition space inside the popup system tells the history of mills in Denmark. The story is brought to life in a playful animation using stories, quotes, and real images from each period, to explain the influence of mills on people's daily life. It is told as if the story is from Karl Jensen, who was a former working of the mill inside the historical museum.
