About the Centre
The European Solidarity Centre (Europejskie Centrum Solidarności) in Gdańsk is a museum and cultural institution that documents the history of Solidarity — the movement born of the August 1980 strike that, through peaceful means, helped bring down communism and win a free, democratic Poland.
Its permanent exhibition runs across seven halls and tells that story through documents, artefacts and a rich layer of multimedia and interactive installations, welcoming visitors and school groups from Poland and around the world.
RORBIT's part
RORBIT developed software for the Centre — interactive, multimedia components that help present its story to visitors on the exhibition floor. The focus, as always, was on software that is clear to use and dependable enough to run day after day in a public space.
Interactive installations
Touch- and screen-based exhibits that let visitors explore the material at their own pace.
Multimedia
Software that brings together image, sound and text into clear, engaging presentations.
Built to run unattended
Designed for a public exhibition — stable, resilient and easy for staff to look after.
