🐞 The brand new Botanical Museum in Padua has opened its doors! We’re super proud of being part of this project, for we believe that whenever a major historical institution makes its heritage more accessible and understandable, it’s a win win for the users as well as the for the whole cultural system.
The exhibition center includes the historical herbarium, a vast collection of seeds, an eighteen-century dispensary, and of course several interactive experiences, some of which designed and produced by us
☝🏽 When entering the Visitor Center, an interactive map welcomes visitors and introduces the Botanical garden’s rich collection: plants, architectures, environments, activities are showcased in a simple and intuitive way.
✌🏽 Inside the museum, the history of botany and medicine is distilled in “An illustrated story”, a multi-user touchscreen where people are invited to delve deeper into historical scientific imagery by dragging and expanding the cells of a voronoi structure.
🤟🏽 Lastly, in the Library on the second floor, we designed an interactive application to navigate across the vast digital collection of historical drawings, prints, manuscripts, documents.
If in Padova, stop by for a refreshing mix of nature, culture and technology 🌱 ✏️ 👾
