Exhibition 'Legend of the Iron Knight' in Riga Motor Museum
On November, 2018 Riga Motor Museum opened a unique interactive exhibition which allows visitors to see for the very first time a legendary vehicle used at one time by the Latvian armed forces, the Imanta armoured carrier.
The study about this “iron knight” is based on 30 original spare parts from the vehicle that were only recently discovered. After using state-of-the-art 3LCD laser technologies and 3D holographic project, the museum has found a way to bring the vehicle back to life, allowing visitors to see it during four specific periods of time.
The armoured carrier did have four lives, two during war and two during peacetime. It stood witness to Latvia's freedom battles. Visitors of the exhibition will be able to discover the machine's historical adventures – participation in battles, reconstruction, change in ownership and functions, etc., over the course of more than two decades.
