The Hall of Human Origins at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City tells the story of human evolution from our earliest ancestors through the development of modern language, art, tools and technology. Outfitted with the latest techniques in exhibit interactivity, it’s a sight—and experience—to behold.
But nestled among all of the Hall’s 21st-Century features is the La Micoque diorama, an updated icon from the original hall that uses technology from another century.
The diorama depicts the famous archeological site of La Micoque in Southern France where excavations in the late 19th Century helped to provide insight into the day-to-day life of ancient humans 300,000 years ago. Set within the cliff-site diorama are a miniature scaffold, table and shed into which miniaturized live-action scientists working on the site are projected using what’s called the “Pepper’s Ghost” effect.
24fps Productions was brought on to record new video vignettes to update the highly popular diorama.
