State History Museum of Kyrgyzstan

In 2018, Kyrgyzstan’s new National History Museum was installed in the prestigious building in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek that used to house the Lenin Museum during Soviet times. On a total floor area of around 7,000 square meters, the country’s cultural history from the Stone Age to the current day is presented with the help of a great many preserved original artefacts from the country’s various historical phases.
The carefully and thoroughly orchestrated overall concept was realized together with a network of different planning offices. A complete refurbishment of the interiors was only a first step. In addition to providing the concrete design of all exhibition areas, adjacent rooms were also included in the remit. These were not only the foyer and the auditorium, but also the museum shop and the cafés. Other important elements of the communication concept were a number of interactive cards, room-filling media installations together with the multi-language audio guide and touch models.
