Too big, too small, too valuable: there are many exhibits in the museum that can only be experienced in a limited fashion. This exhibition explores how digitalization and artificial intelligence can enhance the experience of objects in museums in the future.

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 conservation reasons. Exhibiting objects is always a balancing act between the two main objectives of a museum: conservation and imparting 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 explores the potential of digitalization and AI for museums in the future. Seventeen experiments transform the exhibition space into a future lab and give visitors the chance to discover the largest digital image ever created.
