Bonn's house of history has a new 54 m² LED wall.
Our 54 m² LED wall towers over the foyer of the building and welcomes visitors with historical images in high resolution.
Concave screen in special format
The house of history in Bonn decided to integrate an LED wall into the vaulted ceiling of its foyer. The foundation hired the Düsseldorf-based LED specialist Tennagels for the project. A 13.5 meter wide and 4 meter high screen now towers over the entrance hall, giving visitors a foretaste of the exhibition, but also showing images of otherwise hidden exhibits.
The LED wall is adapted to the concave shape of the entrance hall. Tennagels produced a substructure for the surface that was adapted to the parapet and mounted the LED panels on it. The screen has a total area of 54 square meters and a resolution of 5,184 x 1,536 pixels.
The screen is played with a Vertex media server. It is connected to a Crestron system and can be controlled via a touch panel. Tennagels also supplied a multilayer video mixer.
Bringing the hidden into focus
The permanent exhibition in the Haus der Geschichte alone displays around 7,000 objects from German contemporary history from 1945 to the present day. In addition, there are four temporary exhibitions a year and a collection of a million other objects. So there is no lack of content for the big screen.
According to Ruth Rosenberger, representative of the President of the Haus der Geschichte Foundation, the screen is intended to give visitors an insight into places that are otherwise hidden, such as the depot. The content loop also includes historical images and photos of the exhibition.
