My Armenia

A concept for a museum children's centre in Yerevan or a regional museum

An adventure through ten marzes and Yerevan. Children build the country's map, explore a glkhatun, try on a taraz, play Seven Stones and follow a timeline from Erebuni to the Matenadaran.

Three galleries, three challenges

01New Jerusalem Museum

A monastery model tells its own story

  • Opened 24 December 2024
  • 24 working days
  • Museum stayed open
Case study and video

The gallery had a monastery model and an old video wall. The model was silent; the screen told a separate story.

Exhibitions continued while we worked. Delivery and installation took 24 working days.

Six laser projectors map the model, right down to the crosses on the domes. An LED screen replaced the old wall. Lighting in the architectural light wells follows the content; visitors hear the soundtrack beside the model and from the balcony.

Light leads visitors around the model as the story unfolds. A guide switches between loop, guided-tour and cinema modes from a tablet while staying with the group.

02Sergei Yesenin Museum Reserve
A visitor touches an illuminated display table in a wooden house; an old book is visible beneath the glass

The original stays visible. Its story appears on the glass.

Display tables in a wooden house contain originals and models. The museum needed to tell their stories without covering a single object.

Fragile exhibits could not be lit at close range or hidden behind screen enclosures.

Vertical transparent OLED panels were integrated into the existing showcases, with warm lighting coordinated with the room. Content includes text, archive photographs and animation, including material about Tatyana Fyodorovna Yesenina.

Visitors choose an exhibit on screen and read its story while still seeing the original. The three content languages are Russian, English and Chinese.

  • Original exhibits remain visible
  • OLED panels in existing showcases
  • 3 languages
About the project
03Interactive Virus Museum
The Virus Museum corridor: 3D virus models on a screen, viruses and DNA projected on the floor, illustrated panels beside them

An invisible world within reach

You cannot put a virus in a display case. Children and adults needed an engaging, scientifically accurate way to explore an invisible world.

The audience is families with children. The exhibition shares its space with a washroom area, so even the mirrors above the basins carry the story.

All content was created from scratch with a virologist as consultant. Eleven installations include virus holograms, a wall of circular screens, a flask showing real-world scale, a game table and a science film.

Children play Tap the Viruses. Adults watch the subtitled film. At the basin, a panda washes its paws and demonstrates handwashing.

Five more possibilities

  • A mint-coloured outdoor touchscreen kiosk beside a zoo pond, displaying animal silhouettes and visitor information

    Welcome visitors before the ticket desk

    An outdoor touchscreen guide in a climate-controlled enclosure shows maps, schedules and routes in three languages — in cold weather, rain and sunshine.

  • A 3×3 video wall in a dark gallery displays an autumn riverside landscape to a visitor

    Bring a painting closer

    A narrow-bezel 3×3 video wall uses a custom mounting system in a historic building. The collection appears on screen while the originals remain in storage.

    4 weeks without closing the gallery

  • Visitors use gamepads to play Tetris on an LED wall in a brightly decorated room

    Let a group play together

    An LED wall and three wireless gamepads turn Tetris into a shared experience. A museum version can invite visitors to assemble an artefact or answer a collection-based quiz.

    3840 Hz refresh rate

  • A corner LED wall and LED floor display a warm gradient and a dotted map as visitors take photographs

    Change the scene in minutes

    A corner LED screen and LED floor change the backdrop between events. In a museum, coordinated lighting can highlight an exhibit as its story is told.

  • A 2×2 video wall in a property showroom, controlled by a touchscreen on a stand

    Let visitors explore their own interests

    A touchscreen controls a 2×2 video wall. In the Drevo sales office it helps select apartments; in a museum, the same approach can let visitors rotate a 3D exhibit model.

How we deliver it

Start with 2–5 room photos. Five stages take the project from story to warranty.

  1. The story

    We develop the gallery narrative and write for two audiences: children and adults. Every text is reviewed with the museum's research team.

  2. Content while equipment is on its way

    Equipment delivery takes 6–8 weeks. We use that time for films, 3D, collection-based games and an audio guide built from your catalogues. Armenian, Russian, English and other languages: AI translation and voiceover with native-speaker review.

  3. Equipment chosen for the content

    Projectors, video walls or transparent displays are selected for the story and the building. Mounting follows the museum's requirements; cabling stays concealed.

  4. Installation while you stay open

    We work at night, on closing days or outside opening hours. A video wall takes 2–4 weeks; a content-led exhibition takes around six months.

  5. Training and warranty

    Your team can update content without a developer. Training is included in the contract. Equipment has a three-year warranty; ongoing service and content updates are available afterwards.

We prepare the technical brief and equipment specification for your procurement process.

Questions from directors and curators

Will a screen cover the original exhibit?

At the Yesenin Museum, transparent OLED panels are integrated into showcase glass: the original remains visible while text and archive images appear over it. At the Virus Museum, screens are recessed into the wall finish. Brightness and lighting are agreed with the curator before installation, with no close-range illumination of fragile objects. The screen supports the original exhibit.

How do you install equipment in a listed building where drilling is restricted?

We design mounting around the museum's requirements. The Yaroslavl Art Museum's 3×3 video wall uses a custom mounting system in a historic building. Cabling is concealed, as in the RegStaer project. Send the building's restrictions with the room photos so we can account for them in the mounting design and specification. Installation takes place outside opening hours.

Who creates the content? Can our team update it?

Our production team creates films, 3D, games and audio guides, with the museum's research team reviewing the text. All Virus Museum content was created from scratch with a virologist as consultant. Your team can then update content in the management system without a developer. Training is included in the contract; the equipment warranty is three years.

Can the museum stay open? How long does installation take?

Yes. We work at night, on closing days or outside opening hours, as at the art museum and New Jerusalem Museum. A video wall takes 2–4 weeks; a content-led exhibition around six months; equipment delivery 6–8 weeks. At New Jerusalem Museum, delivery and installation took 24 working days.

Can you create Armenian, Russian and English content?

Yes. The existing Virus Museum film and interfaces use Russian, English and Chinese; the Yesenin Museum's exhibit texts use those same three languages. We can produce Armenian and other language versions using AI translation and voiceover followed by native-speaker review. The outdoor touchscreen guides shown above also work in three languages.
