The innovative redesign of the entire building makes resistance and human rights an interactive, accessible experience for all through a blend of digital, tactile, and inclusive displays.
The redesign of the entire building sheds a modern, open light on the themes of resistance and human rights, engaging visitors individually regardless of their background or time constraints. Upon entering the building, guests are welcomed by an impressive portrait gallery: "Faces of Resistance" presents global icons like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi on equal footing with unknown fighters, victims, and passive supporters from various historical eras. Audio stations bring their life stories to light, while a continuously updated digital world map highlights countries where human rights are currently neglected or violated.
Visitors navigate the space entirely at their own pace through innovative educational formats. History can be explored interactively along an expansive timeline by sliding monitors to unlock synchronized visual and audio information. At a multimedia station, an interactive role-playing game invites visitors to step into the shoes of historical resistance fighters or their adversaries. However, the new exhibition concept also actively engages guests without the need for electronic media: the theme of "Repression and Collaboration" becomes a tactile experience, with "secret" documents hidden in drawers, waiting to be discovered firsthand.
Through these multifaceted displays offering various levels of detail, the newly redesigned institution encourages deep thought, active participation, and critical reflection across all floors.
