Swedish Travelling Exhibitions

THE JOURNEY BACK AND FORTH

An exhibition for children about the Prehistoric age, the present and the future!

An expedition into prehistory and future inviting to play and fantasy!

An exhibition stimulating most senses and supporting different learning styles!

An exhibition where children´s fantasy meets science and contemporary art!

A collaboration project between STE and Historiska Museet (The Museum of National Antiquities)

Aims of the exhibition

• To develop the medium of the exhibition by the use of ADVISORS, a group of four boys and three girls aged 8-11 years, being involved from the start of the exhibition process.

• The exhibition should enhance and respect the children’s view point in every aspect of the process. By letting children meet professional producers, technicians, artists and designers, as well as educational staff at an early stage in the process, the children will influence the final result.

The exhibition’s point of departure is THE JOURNEY – time travels, journeys of exploration, imagination trips

- to inspire children to use their inventiveness and imagination.
