FORSTMUSEUM SILVANUM, STEIERMARK

Das 1. Österreichische Forstmuseum Silvanum in Großreifling wurde von VERDANDI um die Attraktion einer virtuellen Schlittenfahrt bereichert.

CARNICA BEE MUSEUM, CARINTHIA

On May 5 2006 the completely new designed museum opened its doors to the public.

The new visitor area covers 150m² and encompasses eight rooms including a cinema. While in the museum visitors walk through the world of bees and get to know its different aspects. From the bees’ evolution and their biology, their role in mythology to the relationship between bees and humans and to their meaning as a global economic factor, visitors can get to know interactively and with a lot of fun.

The concept and design for the museum has been developed by VERDANDI, other works were carried out by the museum society.

HOUSE OF NATURE, SALZBURG

(Uwe Neuhold for Wonderworks OEG)

For the House of Nature two interactive Stations have been developed which are part of the permanent exhibition.

One Station offers visitors the opportunity to experience the impact of a meteorite in southern Germany 10 Million years ago. On the second Station the visitors can move the tectonic plates of the earth into the future or past using a steering wheel. Thus the rather dry topic of geology suddenly becomes interesting for young and old.

(Uwe Neuhold for Wonderworks)

With two interactive station a counterpoint in the presentation of exhibits is set in the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Natural History.

By actively influencing environmental factors such as climate, food, etc. the development of the horse from the Eohippus 50 Million years ago to todays highly developed animal can be followed. The "Wheel of time" offers visitors the opportunity to move the tectonic plates into the past or future to understand how the planet is evolving.
