The Escape 1943 inaugurated

In October 1943, thousands of Danish Jews fled across the Øresund to Sweden to avoid being deported. Many Danish Jews arrived in Landskrona, and the reception of the refugees is part of the town’s history and should continue to be remembered.

THE ESCAPE 1943 is conceived as a single narrative about humanity and courage, using a carefully considered scenographic and dramaturgical approach that engages visitors from beginning to end. A distinct narrative also emerges around the Landskrona Citadel and its role as a hostel and reception center for refugees both during the war and in the years 1945–53.

KVORNING won the Landskrona Municipality tender to develop and help realize the concept for the new museum at the Landskrona Citadel in co-operation with the museum. The commission also included graphic identity, interactive elements, animation, and film making.

H.R.H Crown Princess Victoria inaugurated the museum on May 29, 2026.

Spectacular 2 CV centerpiece

Many thanks to the French automotive magazine Planète 2 CV for the wonderful feature on KVORNING’s immersive exhibitions and installations created for the experience universe at Classic Car House. With a focus on our spectacular kinetic 2 CV centerpiece, the magazine writes:

“Classic Car House – a Danish car museum with a collection of 300 beautifully staged vehicles – celebrates the automobile, its history, and its iconic brands. At the heart of the double-height exhibition hall, dedicated to more everyday car models, stands a spectacular installation paying tribute to the ingenious design of the 2 CV. The installation, created by design studio Kvorning, presents a 2 CV whose components are raised and lowered between floors using a refined system of cables and motorized hoists. In just a few seconds, the small Citroën transforms into an ‘exploded view,’ as known from manuals, before reassembling in one continuous motion.” Ref.: French Genius [Génie français], Planète 2 CV No. 152, January–March 2026.

KVORNING’s role as exhibition designer for K.W. Bruun Group encompassed everything from initial concept to turnkey delivery, including concept development, master planning, all exhibition zones and design phases, and the production and installation of analog, mechanical, and digital scenography, film, lighting, and sound—carried out in close collaboration with dedicated partners and suppliers.

Classic Car House opened in August 2023.

‘Our World Heritage’ reviewed

Great to see the Norwegian World Heritage exhibition ‘Our World Heritage’ reviewed in the Norwegian museum journal MUSEUM 1/2026.

Highlighting how local museums can communicate shared cultural and natural heritage in engaging ways across Norway’s eight World Heritage sites while also introducing the world’s most important sites.

KVORNING developed the interpretive concept and design in multiple versions, allowing the exhibition to be adapted to existing, familiar spaces as well as future spaces that in several cases, have yet to be defined.

Each of Norway’s UNESCO World Heritage sites will be equipped with the exhibition on an ongoing basis. The storytelling and dynamic content were developed in close collaboration with Gagarin.

‘Our World Heritage’ developed for World Heritage Norway, was first installed at the Vega World Heritage Center, in 2023.

UNESCO’s 1972 World Heritage Convention protects vital natural and cultural heritage sites worldwide.

‘The Island of Deviants – Livø’

KVORNING is a key part of the winning team behind the interpretation project ‘The Island of the Deviants – Livø: A Holistic Historical Experience.’ The contract was won together with E+N Architecture (lead), LYTT Architecture, and Henry Berthelsen Consulting Engineers.

The story of Livø is the story of the country’s oldest island institution, which from 1911 to 1961 housed men who were considered undesirable by society. It is an important part of Danish history and, at the same time, provides essential insight into past views of humanity and the treatment of marginalized groups in society.

Since December 2024, the Danish Nature Agency, Vesthimmerlands Museum, and Aalborg University, in collaboration with Realdania, the Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen Foundation, and the Augustinus Foundation, have been working on the project, which aims to renew the interpretation and improve access to the island’s powerful stories and unique natural environment.

The visitor and interpretation facilities are expected to be completed in June 2028.
