This is an exhibition which extends through an old war tunnel in Zagreb. The basis for the entire spatial design was the concept of time travel and engaging individual historical stories. A net-like steel structure is installed in the tunnel, like a tunnel within the tunnel, the surface of which is partially empty, with the idea of filling it up with the content of precisely those individual stories in time. The remaining surface is filled with reproductions of historical artefacts. 
The passageways have been turned into interactive spaces featuring the specificities of the period they are from. One passageway is dedicated to Nikola Tesla and displays his discoveries. Another passageway has become a war bunker, whereas the third is a tavern from the 1960’s in which visitors can dance to the music of the era. In order to see the whole exhibition, in the central part, visitors have to walk through a dimmed, rainy section of the tunnel representing a sort of cleansing and a break for personal reflexion after a turbulent period of war. At the end, when exiting the tunnel to enter the future, everyone can send their own digital text messages, which will also become part of the exhibition.
