‘Stories from Cold War Hotspots’ exhibition opened today at the Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø. The exhibition is the museum’s highlight contribution to ‘Bodø 2024-European Capital of Culture.’

You can stroll around the exhibition and listen to and watch interviews with young and old Europeans from Eastern and Western Europe who talk about the fear of nuclear war, the hope and joy when the Iron Curtain disappeared and the anxiety about the future. In the middle stands the museum’s nuclear rocket ‘Honest John’ as a physical reminder of what we have actually avoided.

Design partner and turnkey supplier: Kvorning 

The Royal Danish Theatre’s interactive, mobile attraction for kids introducing families, kids and teachers to classical performing arts. Arranged in three large, expressive containers ready to visit Frederiksværk, Denmark, on May 7-11.

Do you want to be an actor at The Old Stage, a ballet dancer, play the harp in the orchestra pit or sing an aria in the opera?

Kvorning won the task to further develop the Royal Danish Theatre and Henning Larsen Architects’ concepts, design the exhibitions and interactives, and finally produce and implement Postyrium’s adventurous world.
