A Ground-Breaking Approach
Hans Christian Andersen’s House is a ground-breaking museum, bringing together outdoor and indoor interpretation into a compelling whole. We were selected to develop a narrative concept that drove the architectural competition, which was subsequently awarded to Kengo Kuma. We went on to deliver the project from planning through to exhibition design and delivery. Our team led and worked collaboratively with an ensemble of creatives, ranging from AV specialists to artists, authors and composers, to create this awe-inspiring experience.
Evoking Magic
This magical journey transports visitors into the world of one of the greatest storytellers. The latest technology, immersive sets and captivating media intertwine to create fairy tale worlds, where visitors can become a character in Andersen’s famous stories.
