National Museum Cardiff

Kizuna exhibition virtual tour

We recently had the pleasure of photographing the wonderful ‘Kizuna: Japan, Wales, Design’ at the National Museum Cardiff, a temporary exhibition focussing on the close ties between Japan and Wales over the generations.

Unlike the majority of exhibition virtual tours we create, this virtual tour was commissioned by the Museum to document the design, layout and lighting for posterity. Although ‘Kizuna’ was one of the most high profile exhibitions of 2018, it was only open to the public for 12 weeks and as such it was important to create a visual record for future reference.

Carefully photographed over a day during which the exhibition was closed to the public, Pan 3Sixty then undertook extensive retouching work to ensure the panoramas accurately reflected the look of the exhibition. From colour and ambience, through to the lighting of individual exhibits and capturing film projection, all aspects of the exhibition were carefully considered to guarantee the finished virtual tour was both an accurate record and looked great.

With the ‘Kizuna’ exhibition open to the public for only 12 weeks it was important for the National Museum Wales to document the design, layout, lighting and quality of the Kizuna exhibition for posterity. We therefore commissioned Pan 3Sixty to photograph the exhibition and create a series of high resolution 360° photographs for future reference. They undertook the work in a very professional manner and delivered a quality, interactive record of the exhibition that met our brief to the letter.

In addition to providing the National Museum Wales with a superb visual reference for future exhibition design, the virtual tour is also being used to promote our temporary exhibition space at the Museum, showcasing the space at its best.

I can highly recommend Pan 3Sixty; they are a pleasure to work with and deliver a high quality product at a competitive price.
