Sweden’s best museum is at Liseberg. Faced with tough competition, the Evert Taube World attraction took home the 2009 prize for best exhibition in the FORUM competition ’Exhibit of the year´.
Evert Taube World at Liseberg in Gothenburg is an experience spread over 8 rooms, every one of which gives the visitor a close look at national poet Evert Taube and his artistic talent. It is a world filled with original artwork, music, technology and exciting characters.
Evert Taube world opened in 2008 and in its first year, attracted over 100 000 visitors.
At Mediatec we’re proud of our role as technical total solutions provider to the attraction and as a partner to Liseberg and we’d like to express our congratulation to Evert Taube World on receiving this award.

On the 24th of February, the new E-hall at the Stockholm Exhibition and Congress Centre was inaugurated. To strengthen relations and the centre’s brand, clients were invited to an inspiring event that showcased the centre’s characteristics and flexibility. 900 participants experienced the new hall through four themes arranged by Boden & Co Kommunikation AB with Mediatec as total solutions supplier of sound, lighting, picture and camera technology and crew.
Beyond the Meetings of today
The meetings industry’s first “Mega freeze mob’ was arranged in conjunction with insights and studies into the future of meetings and information. Mediatec also presented technology for virtual meetings in which a person is ‘moved’ from one place to another in 1:1 scale. This was visualised through actors who performed the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.
Beyond Entertainment
Dance group Bounce served up a suggestive show of world-class standard featuring Trampwall, Schizo and Stage Drop, amongst others. Lighting design expressed itself through 46 moving units and was devised by Mediatec’s Christian Irestad.
Beyond Interaction
In an unfurnished room where the atmosphere was delivered through wall projections, an MJ (Mood Jockey) created an event together with participants.
Beyond Conventional
A 60 metre stage through the entire venue, film and TV furniture from the SVT warehouse, modern backdrops, plexi-seating, luxurious chandeliers and interesting ornaments gave guests a dining environment far removed from that of an ordinary event. Entertainment was provided by 5 unconventional acts, all with the signature of Stina Oscarsson and Viktoria Dahlborg. A visual communication of form, colour and artistry.
