About Contemporary Archaeology Hall Nag-unang Gimbuhaton: Eksibisyon

Teksto sa Libro: Ang Contemporary Archaeology Hall naggamit sa inobatibo nga disenyo ug teknolohiya aron mabag-o ang arkeolohiya ngadto sa usa ka panaw nga makapahunahuna nga nag-ugnay sa nangagi ug sa modernong katilingban. Ang mga bisita mahimong mga time traveler, nga nagsuhid sa mga sekreto sa arkeolohiya sa mga dapit sama sa isla sa Rapa Nui nga puno sa mga Moai, ang mga gumba sa Akrotiri sa wala pa ang usa ka pagbuto sa bulkan, ug ang karaan nga lubnganan sa usa ka babayeng manggugubat nga Viking. Samtang naglakaw, sila naghunahuna bahin sa kontemporaryong mga hagit sa katilingban ug mga posibleng solusyon.

Unique Properties
Through innovative design, the Contemporary Archaeology Hall transforms archaeology into a reflective journey that links the past with today’s society. Visitors become time travellers, venturing into sites such as Rapa Nui, where the Moai are located; Akrotiri, destroyed by a volcanic eruption; and the burial of a female Viking warrior. Along the way, they uncover the mysteries of archaeology while confronting the challenges faced by contemporary society and considering possible solutions.
Dimensions & Packaging
Independent exhibition hall comprising 570 square meters of indoor galleries and 190 square meters of outdoor space, with ceiling heights ranging from 5 m to 6.8 m. The exhibition includes six thematic sections, three immersive theatres, seven digital interactive installations, twelve display cases, and a large collection of physical artefacts and replicas.

Production Technology
Interior Fit-Out: In addition to traditional materials and methods, this project makes bold use of a wall and ceiling system that combines flame-retardant lightbox fabric with an aluminium alloy framework.
Audiovisual Installation: The audiovisual content for this exhibition is primarily produced using 3D CGI animation. Virtual characters are created through facial 3D scanning and motion capture technologies.
Design Challenge
The greatest difficulty of this project lay in the challenges inherent in pursuing innovation.
We actively adopted new materials, methods, and technologies, bringing together expertise from interior design, 3D CGI production, motion capture, lighting, and mechanical prop control. These unprecedented attempts added complexity and uncertainty to the process, yet everything proved worthwhile in the moment of completion.
Research
This project constructs a platform for dialogue, using the stories behind the exhibits as bridges for connection: dialogues between past and present, between archaeologists and the public, and among visitors themselves. For us, this is more than an archaeological exhibition; it is also a demonstration of how the humanities can engage with contemporary issues through care and advocacy.
Inspiration
Inspired by a journey through time and space, this exhibition invites visitors to move freely across different eras and regions, exploring the life stories of prehistoric peoples. To realise this vision, we have drawn on a wealth of archaeological research, transforming it into stories that are both informative and engaging. Through a combination of physical displays, digital interaction, and immersive theatre, we present an archaeological exhibition like no other.
Project Duration
The project was launched on 5 May 2023 and will be on display from 28 June 2025 at the National Museum of Prehistory, Taiwan.
Operation Flow
During the visit, audiences become time travellers, engaging with rich audiovisual interactions to explore archaeological findings on themes such as gender, coexistence with nature, and food crises, while reflecting on the challenges of contemporary society and possible solutions. At the end of the journey, visitors can share their perspectives with fellow travellers through a digital message wall.
