Renewal of the permanent exhibition in the Museum of Antiquities, Historical Studies, University of Gothenburg.

The permanent exhibition of the Museum of Antiquities at the University of Gothenburg is in great need of renewal and modernization. The proposal includes a new floor plan, color scheme and new images that illustrate and frame the exhibition's content. New complementary stands for larger pots and plinths for sculptures. New LED spotlights and new LED lamps for existing luminaires. Different thematic sections are created alongside existing geographical and chronological displays. The exhibition opens with blue Mediterranean images in a marine section as you enter, contrasting with warmer terracotta colors in the museum's display case section. A Cyprus section is created. Vepas with headings and short texts to enlarged details of objects at each stand create interest. Illustrated A3 compendiums on inclined shelves at each stand offer in-depth studies in the respective geographical and chronological area. Dark grey-black background walls in the exhibition space highlight the colors of the images. Soft, dark gray carpet between the columns dampens the sound and scraping of chairs and tables. The purchase of new tables and new light, elegant chairs creates contrast, "modern design meets antiquity." Music with reconstructed instruments from different cultures, such as Greek and Etruscan flute music, illustrates the time periods in the exhibition. Digital displays further illustrate and enhance the exhibition. The proposal also includes a new layout of texts, new fonts and new labels.
