Malta at War Museum

museumfigure — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 10:42:14 +0000

The new museum will be inaugurated on April 15^th, 2012 which is the 70^th anniversary from the awarding of the George Cross to Malta in 1942.

The Malta at War Museum in Birgu, is undoubtedly Malta’s best presented testimonial of the great ordeal suffered by the Island during the Second World War. The site focuses on the daily life of wartime Malta telling the story of how this spec of an island managed to withstand one of the fiercest onslaughts in modern history. It offers a unique experience to the visitor through a combination of original film-footage, expert guiding and much in the way of original artefacts and memorabilia, all of which are nicely presented in a new modern setting.

This Museum occupies the ground floor of the old casemated barracks within Couvre Port of Vittoriosa (Birgu) – The original main entrance into this city.

We can make more then display mannequins and museum figures. For the Sexmuseum Amsterdam we have made a giant decorated window film “Winter” with appropriate lighting.

Later 2012″, “Winter” will be replaced by the themes “Spring”, “Summer” and “Autumn”. The lighting is variable in colour and intensity.

The decorations are based on the work of Alphonse Mucha (24 July 1860 – 14 July 1939), a Czech Art Nouveau painter and decorative artist.

LUNAR LANDER BEEHIVE

Installation made by Yves Obyn for the project “Buren bij kunstenaars” in Western Flanders, Belgium.

LUNAR LANDER BEEHIVE

Oh, Beehive! vertelt het verhaal van hoe bijen onze aarde kwamen cultiveren en maakt gebruik van de beeldtaal van de eerste maanlanding. Het werk betreft een maanlander, gemaakt uit hout van eenzelfde type pallet (nd-1 container), naar het model van de maanlander van de apollo11 missie, gebouwd op ware grote. Daarbij komen 2 mannequins, gehuld in imkerkledij, witte pakken, die de link leggen naar de astronauten die de maanlander bemanden.

Als mannequins gebruikte ik 2 flexible male figures. Ik werk vaker met decors en ensceneringen en die komen zo wel van pas, plus is ook de bedoeling om de officiële fotoreeks van de eerste maanlanding te recreeren, zeer handig met die mannequins!
