New Riga Motor Museum – New Technologies – New Challenges
After a large-scale renovation Riga Motor Museum opened its doors to public on the 2nd of July, 2016. After the renovation the museum is not only regarded as the largest antique vehicle collection in the Baltics, but also the most modern one. The exhibition is organized in a form of an exciting interactive story about unique vehicles, notable persons and the most significant events in the history of automotive industry and humanity alike. Precisely the use of modern multimedia technology, allows us to tell this exciting tale to our visitors. How do artefacts interact with multimedia? How do we convey the exhibit’s story to our visitors without losing connection with the exhibit itself and what are the new challenges the museum is facing?
