Design Solution:

To clarify the relationship between myths and facts, the design team used two distinct scenographic strategies to depict the information: the first employs a refined look and feel with one accent colour and the other uses a more playful approach involving geometric graphics and a multitude of colour accents. Antechambers create key moments that allow visitors to connect with the content, punctuating the path and reducing ‘museum fatigue.’
