When Museum Objects Turn Alive!

Bringing museum objects to life and chat with them? That’s not just a good story for Hollywood blockbusters! At the Stadtmuseum Aarau, Switzerland, this is becoming a reality. Thanks to new technologies, it now is possible to give collection objects a voice and a character. So why shouldn’t the objects tell their stories to the audience themselves? With an audio- and text-based chat app and an interactive radio play detective story, the audience gets the opportunity to question objects and enter into a dialogue with them. This way the permanent exhibition not only becomes more lively, it also invites the audience to literally get in touch with the collection.
