‘Tiger Cages’

Here you can discover the prison yard cells that no longer exist with the help of a virtual reconstruction.
Use the augmented reality (AR) feature for this: Go past the desk straight ahead to the historic location of the ‘tiger cages’ and stand on the mark. Then start the AR feature. Now you can walk around in and discover the virtual prison yard cells.
Alternatively, a film presentation of the prison yard cells is available. Click on the start button to play.

Slowly move your smartphone from side to side to help detect the surface for the AR view.
