Vice - The Unfiltered History Tour (Digital)

In 1770, Captain James Cook approached Australia for the first time. Before even setting foot on land, he shot and wounded two Gweagal warriors and stole their belongings – including this shield.

The Unfiltered History Tour is a guerrilla tour of the British Museum's stolen artefacts. Using Instagram Augmented Reality filters, visitors can scan the museum's disputed artefacts and see them being teleported back in time to their countries of origin. It also relays violent moments in history with the help of ten experts from those countries. The visuals were inspired by Akira Kurosawa's black and white films, and were designed to match the emotional stories told by the experts.
