Contextual Overview:
Galerija 12 partnered with world-renowned studios to develop over a hundred digital exhibits for the permanent exhibition at the recently inaugurated Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi. The landmark Saadiyat Island venue sits between Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum, TeamLab Phenomena and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, inviting visitors on a monumental journey through the history of life on our planet. As the largest of its kind in the region, the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi features an extraordinary collection, including some of the rarest natural history specimens ever found on the planet and the world's first display of two Tyrannosaurus rex fossils showcased together.
Galerija 12 produced content centred around The Story of Earth and Beyond the Horizon galleries, continuing on our experience of visualising stories about the formation of the universe and the human presence in space. In addition to developing visual content, Galerija 12 created captivating soundscapes for the two galleries. Our design and software teams are behind the tactile interactives across multiple museum chapters.
Technological Overview:
Galerija 12 contributed to the design and produced over 30 exhibits across numerous media typologies to support this central narrative and historical artefacts that include immersive, large-scale, animated CGI pieces for flat and spherical surfaces, custom light installations, audio soundscapes and numerous tactile interactives. We joined the project at the design development stage, elevating the concept and design of the exhibits, and fully produced and integrated them onsite.
To realize the creative vision of the modern and ambitious museum display, we created custom technological pipelines for CGI and light content creation to ensure the technical and visual proficiency of our exhibits. We developed efficient software solutions for the hardware integration of our apps with tactile exhibit components. Working on such an expansive scope of work has required collaboration with multiple partners throughout the project, including interpretive planners, AV planners and fabricators.
