Book Stories: An Interactive Exhibition Park in a Public Library

A public library wanted to become a cultural meeting point for all ages. We created the concept and built a multimedia park that tells the story of writing, paper and the book through things to touch, open and light up.

The challenge

Turn a public library into a cultural hub for all ages and bring in a new audience.

What we did

The concept and the build of a multimedia park. An interactive world map on a stand shaped like an open book: press a point and see where writing was born. Zones on the history of paper, the library itself and rare books, a fairy-tale zone for small children and a space for teenagers.

For whom: Libraries, children’s museums, cultural centres.

Six zones, from the first signs to the modern book

Where writing was born

An interactive world map on a stand shaped like an open book. A visitor presses a point on the small map in front of it and the place where a script was born lights up, with a story on screen.

The history of paper

Clay tablets to try writing on, scrolls and early writing materials in showcases and pull-out drawers.

The library and its city

A wooden model of the neighbourhood that visitors explore by hand, and the history of the library through the decades.

Rare books

Old printed books shown in showcases; visitors handle selected pages wearing white gloves.

Fairy-tale zone

A play zone for the youngest visitors, with doors to open and a vintage telephone to listen to.

Teen space

A lounge with steps and soft seating for reading, meetings and talks with writers.
