Case study: ‘Decoded: 75 Years of the Australian Signals Directorate’, National Museum of Australia | Art Processors

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), the agency took the extraordinary step of lifting the lid on its achievements—from its origins in the Second World War to cyber challenges today. Collaborating with the National Museum of Australia and Art Processors, the aim was to build public trust and recognition with an immersive, informative exhibition, Decoded: 75 Years of the Australian Signals Directorate.

This was part of our ongoing partnership with the Museum, and we pushed the boundaries of the visitor experience further than ever before. There were three layers to our work in creating the end-to-end visitor journey: exhibition design and build; creating and curating content; and software production. Key at all times was considering how we drew people into the story as if they were agents themselves. The end result was atmospheric, engaging, memorable and unprecedented in its access.
