ABOUT

The Royal Fortress of Suceava is ranked as one of the most important historical sites in Romania. In 2016 we have successfully brought it to life by assembling the first ever permanent exhibition in its long history.
In Medieval Ages, the fortress played an important role both from a defensive and strategic point of view. Keeping this in mind, we created an exhibit concept that held on to the historical destination of the stronghold.
Following our idea, we put together an exposition that illustrates the military character of the location, certain medieval customs and also presents the citadel's history throughout the ages.
To better represent our concept and to bring a higher note of authenticity to the fortress, all the replicas that we created for this location were handmade. An impressive arsenal of arms and armors, siege weapons, cannons, garments, jewelry, ceramics, furniture, everything was done by hand with the help of several craftsmen and artists.
Furthermore, to make it more lively, we inhabited the fortress with ultra realistic mannequins that embody several important Moldavian characters from the Middle Ages, soldiers and artisans. The mannequins helped us to better display some of the replicas we've made: garments, armor and weapons. We were also able to put into play certain activities from those times: guard duty, crafting, dining and games.
History is ultimately a tale and by using the power of storytelling, visitors can better learn and understand the important events that took place here all through the years.
Therefore, besides a large number of informative panels, we also equipped the exhibit with many interactive systems and projections, that are intended to tell the stories of the fortress in a more attractive fashion. This new method of content delivery has a higher education value and a deeper immersive character than the classical methods of convening information.
