MARCH GUT was able to stage the exhibition in the richly decorated renaissance building Innerberger Stadel and thus also designed the permanent exhibition of the Steyr City Museum.
Based on the theme of prosperity and trade, the large and small piles of grain in the former storage facilities provided inspiration for the upsloping exhibition structure. Made of cement-bonded chipboard, these spatial interventions provide a stark contrast to the historic 17th century rooms, allowing the architecture to retain its authenticity through a display of clear, harmonious difference. Showcases and screens are integrated into the design, alongside the texts, which were applied to the panels using direct printing. Information and objects merge into large presentation islands that visitors can walk around freely.
