MUSEUM OF HOPE

B.S.Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology

Idea projektu

The idea of the project was to invoke the visitors of the museum with a feeling of unease and constant fear the victims mustve felt under the nazis and how they were able to feel hopeful for a peaceful life after Oskar Schindler took them in to work in the factory instead of the concentration camp.

Popis projektu

The feeling of gradual negative to positive feeling was exhibited through the play of lights and shadows as the visitors move to a dark space consisting of the memorial ( butterfly ) and they follow the light streaming from the top as they move through the exhibition spaces. They finally reach the top with space open to the environment finally being able to see the outside world.
