Romanticum

Forum Confluentes

Koblenz (DE) – 2013

The permanent exhibition on German Romanticism. Visitors experience a day trip through the legendary Rhine Valley on board of an imaginary historical steamship from the 19th century. The sound scenography creates a humorous, lively, and atmospheric context for the exhibition’s visual design, interactive exhibits, and informative texts. The harbor awakens at dawn, passengers board, life on the shore passes by, a joyful party on the deck is suddenly interrupted by a storm, the dreamy song of the river fairy Lorelei enchants in the evening hours, and the bench at the wheel vibrates from the steam engine. Inside the ship, visitors enter a literary salon with period music, the sounds of life in a historic bar, and social chatter. We love how such a composition brings movement, life, and a sense of adventure to the exhibition. And how that makes you feel more present in the moment, the topic, and the space.
