The new permanent exhibition hall, set amongst the hangars at Royal Air Force Museum Cosford, tells the story of the Cold War, from national, international, social, political, and cultural perspectives.

Newangle was asked to produce a series of audio-visual exhibits that focus on key aspects of the Cold War such as the Berlin Airlift, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the Space Race.

The Cuban Missile Crisis is an immersive audiovisual presentation of the dramatic tension of the crisis. The audience listens to the story while seating at a circular table surrounded by 12 video screens. The downwards projection onto the table shows animated maps, graphics and video along with a dramatic countdown. The experience is enhanced by lighting and sound effects.

The exhibit won ‘Large Visitor Attraction of the Year’ award at the West Midlands Excellence in Tourism Awards 2007.
