MUSEUMS & CULTURE VISITOR CENTRE MEDULIN, CROATIA

Explora Vižula!

A visitor centre where Roman heritage comes alive through touch, play, 3D and sound.

Explora Vižula! is a visitor centre in Medulin dedicated to the Roman heritage of the Vižula peninsula and Medulin Bay. We designed and built its complete digital layer – from touchscreen applications and educational games to a virtual jewellery mirror, an animated projection book, immersive 3D exploration and multilingual audio guides.

About the project

Turning ruins into a story visitors can step into

The Vižula peninsula and Medulin Bay are rich in Roman heritage – but much of that history is invisible to the eye. Our task was to make it understandable, personal and fun for every visitor, whether they come for an hour or a whole afternoon.

We connected the physical exhibition with digital experiences, so every installation tells part of the same story – and visitors leave with something to take home.

Goals
  1. Make archaeological heritage engaging through intuitive interaction and storytelling
  2. Connect physical exhibits with digital experiences and personalised takeaways
  3. Encourage learning through exploration, choices and play
  4. Extend the experience beyond the centre through location-aware audio and virtual exploration
