UNESCO creates a book and interactive exhibition to celebrate Latvian culture

2019 marked the centenary of seven Latvian national institutions for culture, education, and science. The 100th anniversary was included amongst the important occasions associated with UNESCO. To celebrate, the Latvian National Commision for UNESCO created a book called “The ABC of Latvian Culture” and launched it at an interactive exhibition in Paris. Both the book and the exhibits are complemented by several augmented reality content pieces, which we provided via the Overly app.

Artworks that vanished during World War II return to Latvia in augmented reality

Jaunauce Palace in Latvia was once home to Baron Theodor Otto von der Ropp’s stellar art collection. Unfortunately, many artworks vanished or were moved during World War II. Holding no illusion that these would ever return in their physical form, the Jaunauce Palace team recruited Overly to bring back pieces from Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Bertel Thorvaldsen in augmented reality.
