About the exhibition

A chair that no-one can sit on anymore or a puppet that hangs silently by its strings: many fascinating objects are difficult to display in a museum. Some are too big, some too delicate; others cannot be touched or moved for reasons of preservation. Exhibiting objects is always a balancing act between the two main objectives of a museum: conservation and sharing knowledge. As a result, many exhibits can only be experienced by visitors in a limited fashion. But digital technologies offer ways to make otherwise inaccessible objects accessible to the public. This exhibition investigates the potential of digitalization and AI for museums of the future. Seventeen experiments transform the exhibition space into a lab for the future, and give visitors a chance to explore, among others, the largest digital image ever created.
