MOT & GO, interactive exhibition with the ErfgoedApp

The MOT in Grimbergen is launching a highly original exhibition. MOT & GO is the DIY store for drive and transmission systems. Not a real store, of course, but a new, interactive exhibition where you can learn more about natural drive and mechanical transmission through experimentation. It is no coincidence that MOT & GO is located in the Tommenmolen, a grain watermill on the Maalbeek.

Scan and shop

Using a smartphone or tablet with ErfgoedApp , you ErfgoedApp scan assignments and solutions. With paint cans (which you can also scan with the app), you can put together a timeline. You can shop in the Inclined Plane, Levers, and Wheel and Axle departments, with store shelves where brand-new tools and old collection pieces complement each other beautifully. It's an unprecedented setup that lets you experience technology in a whole new way.

By using an app instead of a guide, larger groups can easily spread out throughout the exhibition and carry out the assignments in small groups or individually. Thanks to the app, the exhibition is available in Dutch, English, and French. What's more, you won't see any video screens or long texts in the exhibition, because all the films and texts come to life with the help of the ErfgoedApp. A successful combination!

The MOT received financial support from the province of Flemish Brabant to realize this innovative concept. The design, content, and implementation were carried out entirely by MOT staff. The concept for the DIY store came from design agency Exponanza. The ErfgoedApp included in the development of the exhibition concept from the outset. Everything was also worked out in detail in the app in terms of graphics.
