Briefing
Commissioned by the Municipality of ’s-Hertogenbosch and created in collaboration with Podium, we revealed the hidden history beneath the city’s streets and transformed it into an immersive museum experience at Groot Tuighuis.
The project was designed to highlight the rich and diverse history of Den Bosch, revealing layers of the past in an engaging and interactive way.
Concept
Our goal was to create an immersive experience that allows visitors to actively explore the city’s long history and discover the centuries of change that have shaped it.
The result is a creative concept and production that combines digital innovation with historical storytelling. We integrated various media, including 3D animation, video content created in our own studio, 2D compositing, and AI-driven elements, to create a dynamic and multi-layered experience.
Result
Through animated dioramas, visitors are guided through six distinctive time periods, each highlighting key moments in the history of Den Bosch.
Every period is brought to life through detailed miniature landscapes that illustrate the major transformations that shaped the city, making the past feel vivid and tangible. The visual storytelling is enhanced by interactive features that encourage visitors to engage more deeply with the history on display.
One of the most exciting elements is the digital excavation game, where visitors can virtually dig for historical artifacts, examine their findings, and learn about their significance. This hands-on experience mirrors the process of archaeological research, giving visitors the opportunity to explore the journey of discovery and experience the excitement of uncovering the past.
By incorporating these interactive elements, we created an experience that not only informs but also invites visitors to actively explore the forgotten stories hidden within Den Bosch’s history, allowing them to feel like true archaeologists.
