Knights and Castles, our traveling exhibition that gives a bright look at the dark ages, has arrived in its second location, LVR-LandesMuseum Bonn in Germany. First location was Museon in The Hague, third will be Museum Het Valkhof Nijmegen. After that it will continue on its tour through Europe, and by doing so, it symbolically links the life of people in today’s Europe to their shared medieval history.
Medieval characters, contemporary look
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: the circus is coming to town! When commissioned to reimagine the kids’ gallery for Ciência Viva – an interactive science-and-technology centre in Lisbon – NorthernLight created a vibrant, colourful playscape reminiscent of the circus. Bold graphics, bright hues, dazzling lights and kaleidoscopic mirrors invite kids to perform and play, while reconnecting parents to their childhood memories. The discovery of a park meets the emotion of a circus: you can almost smell the nostalgic wafts of popcorn, candyfloss and caramel.
In February 2017 we were entrusted to design, develop and fabricate hands-on exhibits for the Children‘s Gallery and the Natural History Hall at the new Royal Alberta Museum (RAM).

Helping to instigate change
In August 2018 a NorthernLight design team travelled to Sarawak in the Malaysian portion of Borneo.

In a bid to help instigate change, NorthernLight is designing a Children’s Gallery for the island’s new museum.
