Communication goal:
Provide a 21th century audience insight and indepth information on the vision and works of an immortal graphic artist by means of divers displays.

Result:
A unique virtual reality journey
Wearing virtual reality headsets, thirty visitors at a time have a unique journey through Escher's work. The visitor has a 360o sight. The visitor's insights into the work of Escher are tested in a playful manner.

Escher's room
In Escher's room visitors face a surprising optical illusion in which they themselves play a part. A photo is available in the museumshop.

Still life & Street
A magical display based on this famous work where the visitor never knows for sure whether he is looking at a stageset or a computeranimation.

Escher's magic
Three educational displays that enable the visitor to discover the ways in which Escher 'tricks' us through his work.

Playroom
In Escher's playroom you never really know what is up and what is down. Everywhere you look you see stairs, and the walls can well be the floor. Children are invited to play and solve Escher puzzles.
