NY TRELLEBORG VIKING ARCADE


Viking ARcade integrates Viking culture, LEGO bricks and AR technology with 3 purposes of entertainment, education and engagement for the visitors. It pictures the future museum experience for Trelleborg, a Danish Viking museum part of National Museum of Denmark, which consists of a UNESCO historic Viking fortress and a museum archiving the Viking found from the site.

Ny (‘New’ in Danish) Trelleborg invites students from BA Visual Communication at Royal Danish Academy to reimagine the solutions attracting more visitors nationally and internationally. The Viking Arcade proposal delivers an ambitious framework for Viking culture than just focusing on Trelleborg site itself. It shows a promising opportunity that not only people interested in Viking culture and history but also connect people who are fascinated with building and playing LEGO.
