Smithsonian Anyang: China's Ancient City of Kings

In 2023, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of Asian Art celebrated its centennial with the exhibition “Anyang: China’s Ancient City of Kings,” featuring Shang Dynasty artifacts. We collaborated with curators to create three engaging activations:

Anyang Underground, a multi-screen storytelling experience that chronicles the site's rediscovery, complemented by an immersive soundtrack;

Life in the City, an interactive kiosk that offers insights into ancient Anyang through a dual-screen setup;

Hidden Dragons, an AR scavenger hunt that connects exhibits while helping visitors navigate the museum.
