World War II Home Front Museum

Exploring one town’s impact on the outcome of World War II.
Museum
During World War II, Brunswick, Georgia, played a vital role in defending the U.S. from German U-boats.

Today, the World War II Home Front Museum preserves and celebrates its citizens’ contributions. Relative Scale created two interactive experiences for the museum that explore the relationship and impact of Brunswick’s Naval Air Station on the war and the surrounding community.

In Piloting an Airship, guests step into a simulated airship cockpit to escort a ship convoy through U-boat-infested waters. Based on real WWII missions, this touch-table interactive lets up to five guests take on crew roles, using role-specific controls to locate and neutralize threats below.

The Community Reflections interactive features six oral history videos of members from the Brunswick community. Focusing on their postwar experiences, these individual stories explore the war’s social and economic impact on the town and those who lived there.
