The „Ujście Warty” Museum is dedicated to the nature and history of the Warta river mouth area. It presents exhibitions on biodiversity, bird migration and the traditions of the riverside landscape, combining natural-history displays with material on local culture. The museum also runs educational workshops, nature walks and seasonal events that introduce visitors to the specific character of this unique ecosystem. The client was „Ujście Warty” National Park, the general contractor was PPUH WIMAR Wiesław Polechoński, and the design was produced by the Pracownia Architektury Adam Rudziński studio; the building was completed in 2020.
Our scope included the supply and installation of acoustic suspended ceilings with parameters that minimise echo formation and unwanted reverberation, metal ceilings, free-hanging baffle panels, wall claddings in natural veneer, and stretch ceilings.
The centre presents the natural qualities and cultural values of the Warta river mouth area — numerous interactive stations, display boards and models let visitors get to know the local fauna and flora. Interior acoustics posed a challenge: alongside their architectural qualities, the acoustic materials were meant to help quieten the space and improve speech intelligibility, which matters given the large number of visitors and the frequent, noisy kindergarten and school groups. One of the more interesting exhibits is a virtual balloon flight over the Park's grounds, made possible by a set of 12 high-end multimedia projectors that display the image onto the walls and the floor beneath visitors.
