Museum 11, Specials




Special items designed for the museum are

  • Some umbrella’s, sculpties, one primers, from aeound 1900.
  • A standing and a hanging old telephone. Sculpties.
  • A desk chair, which consisted of 50 prims in its first version, reduced to 10 with sculpty tubes.
  • two Gispen chairs with curved iron tubes.
  • A streetcar, driving a bit with original noises.
  • two mannequin models, with shoes
  • shovels made from one prim
  • handles made from one prim
  • the aeolus tower

The poster about Pschorr has a special script, with about 10 old jazz tunes, playing if an avatar is near this part of the exhibition.

Two special showcases were made, representing the new design cups and plates shown first in the pre-war Bijenkorf, later in shops in the Lijnbaan.

The mannequin models were pretty difficult to recreate, but in the end a reasonable resemblance is achieved.

The video projections on the curved surfaces in the end turned out really cool. The streaming video has not too much quality, but it loads fast. The projections in the real museum are also blurred because of their size.

There are as many as 20 videos in the exhibition, real and the virtual, which enhance the experience.

Added are a lot of sounds. Not only the items but also the avatars trigger these sounds. Sounds are very important to let a virtual space come alive.


A quiz was added, to attract people and to see whether the visitors retain something. Of course, seen a global scale the history of Rotterdam is minute, and very specialized. Some funny questions are posed too: the fastest means of transportation for crossing Rotterdam, where can be ordered the worst cappuccino ever...
The questions are situated in a database, only five questions can be answered a day, and of course, although the questions are a random selection, you never get the same question again. The number of questions at the moment is 45. For a good answer you get 2 L$!


There are about 1000 prims in this exhibition.
