Loot VR

Loot - 10 Stories

The Mauritshuis "Roofkunst" - 10 Stories exhibition tells the story of 10 looted artworks that are on display during the exhibition. We highlighted three of these stories through VR.

- The quadriga on top of the Brandenburger Tor, looted by Napoleon.

- An Indonesian Kris dagger, looted by the Dutch army during the colonial wars.

- The last self-portrait made by Rembrandt van Rijn in 1669, looted by the Nazis for Adolf Hitlers personal Führermuseum.

The project was a unique collaboration of the classical art museum Het Mauritshuis, film studio Jongsma+O'Neil, and Moyosa Media. Due to this interdisciplinary team, we got to tell a unique story in an engaging way.

This VR experience ran in 2023 in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague and in 2024 in the Humbolt Forum located in Berlin.

The tasks assigned to me were:

- 3D asset creation

- Figuring out the hardware requirements on which it should run, note this way was before we even started on the project.

- The full installation of all the hardware. Inluding on site setup on both locations.

- Writing documentation and troubleshooting guides.
