Exhibition of Famous Czech Composers in the National Museum

With the help of technology, we are reviving and making the expositions in the National Museum more attractive. Visitors no longer observe only inanimate exhibits, but are directly drawn into the experience with the help of lighting, video and sound installations.

_
For this exhibition, we have produced a unique acoustic construction that accompanies the visitor through a sound labyrinth. In it you can hear subtle sounds that were the inspiration of famous composers, such as the rustling of trees, female laughter, or street noise. In the meanders of the labyrinth, the essential musical works of selected composers are exhibited, and thanks to our acoustic construction, the visitor can enjoy listening to them without the individual works interfering with each other.

The exhibition opens with a large immersive light-sound installation, its backbone consists of music by selected composers – Smetana’s “Vltava”,  Dvořák’s “From the New World”, Janáček’s Sinfonietta and a double concerto for two string orchestras, piano and timpani by Bohuslav Martinů.

The scenography is created by 200 pieces of DMX LED wash luminaires placed on special floor mats in a regular matrix arrangement, which are complemented by the most modern BOSE MSA12X speakers, which ensure a faithful performance of classical music. The entire entrance hall is also acoustically treated so that the visitor has the best possible experience of the presented works.

The sound of the whole exhibition naturally flows like the water in the river.
