Description:
The exhibition is housed in the vaulted cellars of Riga Castle, built in
the 14th century, with an impressive architecture, covering an area of
more than 530 square meters. In addition to the exhibition halls, there
is also a room accessible from the exhibition featuring a 600-year-old
hot-air or hypocaust furnace. The new exhibition is designed as a
contemporary interior installation that clearly distinguishes the
historical heritage from the present day. The masonry walls and vaults
of the Riga Castle basement have been preserved intact, showcasing the
authentic historical interior, while the polymer concrete has been used
to create the exhibition—it is raised like a floating path that guides
visitors through various themes of the story of Livonian castles. The
latest technologies—including standard and touchscreen displays, video
and light projections, as well as holographic projections—bring the
exhibition’s message to life and allow visitors to explore the history
of Livonian castles in an interactive and multifaceted way.
