The Brief

Give a hall of statues its voice back.

The Pantheon is the grandest hall of the National Museum in Prague: a dome ringed by 56 figures who shaped the nation. For the 200th anniversary of Česká spořitelna, the museum wanted to give those figures a voice instead of a plaque.

It had to respect a room this grand and still surprise people inside it — a layer that belongs in the Pantheon, not one pasted over it.

The Approach

Raise a phone, and the Pantheon gains a dimension.

We built Living Roots, an AR experience inside the museum’s “National Museum in Your Pocket” app. Assets were modeled in Blender, run in Unity, and anchored with augg.io so the digital layer sits convincingly against the real frescoes and marble.

Point a phone at the hall and the 56 figures tell their stories on the very plinths they occupy. Made with Futured, the National Museum, Česká spořitelna, and Daniel Špaček.

The Impact

History you stand inside, not read off a plaque.

Visitors learn who these people were and why they still matter, straight from the phone in their hand — with the Pantheon itself as the stage.
