[WATCHOUT in 100 innovations exhibition]

Hi all,

 

The National Museum of Science and Technology (Tekniska Museet) in Stockholm, Sweden, has just opened a new exhibition showcasing the 100 most important innovations in history, as rated by Swedish voters. Although WATCHOUT didn't make it into the list, you still can't miss it at the exhibition… Informationsteknik, Stockholm, and Eyebrite Film & Visions in Gothenburg delivered a major WATCHOUT production for the exhibition, with over 200 timelines. The display area is both curved and split into squares creating a visually exciting (and highly visible) canvas of images.
