The dream of Lisbeth and Tony is that the astronomer Tycho Brahes’ castle
Uraniborg (the planetarium) is to be rebuilt. This castle is situated on the
island of Hven in the middle of Öresund, the stretch of water between Sweden
and Denmark and was built around 1550 to 1601.
The dreamers are fortunate that their local cultural administration were
running a project to build a visual/interactive exhibition to display the
castle and the instruments that Tycho Brahe invented and worked with at his
planetarium. Together with a EU-project team, a 3D-video is made where you can
walk around the castle and experience the interior fittings and materials. The
garden is also rebuilt and opened on June 1, 2003. In the garden, the
exhebition, where a Danish artist made a lot of sculptures playing the part of
people living in the Castle, was opened.
'It is fantastic that DSM will pay such great deal of attention to the
culture and Tycho Brahe in this way", says Christin Nielsen, Head of
the cultural section in Landskrona. "It is extremely unusual that we are
offered sponsorship money and it is of considerable value that it is the
employees at the Landskrona plant who have put it forward. One of our most
important goal is that the inhabitants in Landskrona should be pride of its
history and culture".
