Dotdotdot designed and implemented an accessible and engaging narrative path tailored to diverse audiences for the new Archaeological Museum of Sessa Aurunca, near Caserta.
The project features four interactive installations across three rooms of the museum and seven tactile stations integrated throughout the entire visitor experience. By making the museum's storytelling and heritage accessible to a broad audience, this initiative exemplifies best practices in inclusive design, enhancing both tangible and intangible cultural heritage within a public institution and providing a multi-sensorial interactive experience to all.
The museum itinerary explores the cultural and social transformations of the pre-Roman and Roman eras in the Sessa Aurunca region, featuring tactile scale models of objects with strong symbolic significance, selected in collaboration with the curators and 3D printed by our innovation hub OpenDot.
Designed primarily for the visually impaired but appealing to all visitors, these replicas provide an intuitive understanding of the curatorial themes and provide a sensorial experience further enriched by an audio narration, activated via QR code.
Two sculptural interactive maps and two three-dimensional videos enhance the narrative with engaging visual content.
The maps - located in room 1 and 4 - are shaped to represent the territory in the pre-Roman and Roman, depicting its perimeter and natural elevations through engraved details. Positioned at an accessible height for children and wheelchair users, they combine ambient soundscapes with visual elements featured on a screen and activated via an intuitive rotary selector. A voiceover introduces the curatorial themes and provides detailed explanations of what’s visible on the maps - making the narrative accessible to all.
The 3D videos - featured in rooms 1 and 6 - showcase two significant artifacts that are not physically present in the museum.
The Kore of Sessa, housed in the British Museum, is presented as a 3D image suspended in a mirror, viewable from any angle. The Teatro di Sessa is brought to life through a 3D reconstruction, allowing visitors to see the museum's artifacts in their original historical context.
