EXHIBIT: Facing the Future - Sustainability the Swedish Way

Until March 14, 2010

The Exhibit is open to the public:
Monday through Friday
9:00 am - 5:00 pm.

Imagine having the capability to update an exhibit every morning - to be able to build parts of an exhibit in many ways and to keep it constantly current.

This new exhibit concept offers a completely new form of exhibition in which the contents of certain modules can be digitally altered over the internet. Other parts show objects, moving pictures, sound and photos. The modules are like large Lego blocks which can be put together in various ways to create seats, benches, cabinets, pillars, shelves and a shop counter.

The exhibition was financed by Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs and The National Property Board Sweden. The modules in the exhibition were constructed by Swedish Traveling Exhibitions in collaboration with Sweden's Museum of National Antiquities, the Embassy of Sweden in Washington, DC and the Swedish Institute, which is also responsbile for the content of the exhibition. It was designed by Samir Alj Fält.
