Museum de Voorde
This Is Us!
The exhibition This Is Us! at Museum de Voorde explores six generations. All sorts of interactive elements allow visitors to discover what unites these generations and what sets them apart.
The exhibition is about the generations ranging from the 1950s to the present day. It is about growing up in an era with specific features, with its own ideas, certainties, worries, icons and defining moments. Every generation has been visualised in a style chamber featuring a suitable set design showcasing furniture, objects, props, soundscapes and all sorts of historical footage displayed on screens and projected life-size.
Major events in fashion, music, technology, disasters, love and anguish are all depicted in a wonderful cinematic timeline.
In the last exhibition chamber, visitors can use a game controller to predict important events in a crystal ball. This generation is shaped by what is happening today, tomorrow, and in the next decade or two. All of the choices that visitors make will be saved to create a fascinating ranking at the end of the game.
