LWL Archaeology Museum | Stonehenge

The special exhibition “Stonehenge in Herne” at the LWL Museum of Archaeology in Herne presents the latest research findings on what is arguably Europe’s most famous archaeological monument. The 16 thematic areas feature detailed 1:1 replicas of the massive megaliths, analog and virtually reconstructed landscapes, 25 multimedia stations, and selected artifacts from English archaeology and the LWL Archaeology Department for Westphalia.

Visitors embark on a journey through time, during which the history of Stonehenge is juxtaposed with contemporary developments in Westphalia and the Ruhr region. For here, too, over 4,500 years ago—and in some cases even earlier than in southern England—megalithic (mega = large, lithos = stone) structures were created that served as social gathering places in a landscape increasingly shaped by humans.

235 Media provided consulting services to the exhibition organizers and supplied and installed the media technology. We utilized various custom-designed structures, such as extendable cantilever arms for projector mounting.
