Project case study
The Book of Fairy Tales exhibition
A walk through Russian fairy tales where the scenery answers back: a mermaid lives in the oak, Buyan Island is built from children’s drawings, and the firebird flies inside a glowing sphere.

The challenge
Turn a family exhibition about fairy tales into a place where children do things themselves instead of just looking.
What Awake! delivered
Awake! built interactive pieces across the exhibition: a live AI mermaid that talks to guests from a fairy-tale oak, a drawing station that turns sketches into a city on Buyan Island, projection and sphere scenes and touch objects hidden in the scenery. Each piece runs on its own and is set up on site from a settings panel.
Outcome
The exhibition welcomes families with children at the National Centre “Russia” in Moscow.
