The project “Museum, cultural heritage and northern identity” is a platform for institutional cooperation to develop common cultural heritage and northern identity.
Zenton’s mission for this exciting and challenging EU-funded project was to find a simple way to visualize the culturally important sites for all international and national partners. These sites would also be linked to its year – a broad period of time from 5000 BC. to the present.
For this purpose, we created a website which serves as a web-based exhibition on these sacred sites from ancient to modern times in northern Sweden, Finland and Russia and can be viewed on a range of platforms via www.northernplaces.org. The geographical locations are clearly laid out and the click option provides in-depth information, images and dates on a timeline.
The solution is also displayed and used on a 40” multitouch screen at the Norrbotten Museum.
