Humboldt Forum

Special media installations in the Ethnological Museum and Museum of Asian Art.

Space has been a key partner in concepting, designing and implementing most of the interactive, immersive stations at the museums. This has resulted in installations on a wide variety of topics using an even wider variety of technologies.

The Museum itself

At the Humboldt Forum the Ethnological Collections and Museum of Asian Art found a new very prominent location in the heart of Berlin. Behind its historical façade this new building puts the various cultures of the world at the center. Important exhibits are now given the stage they deserve and thus the opportunity to be seen and discussed anew by many visitors. The reorganization of the museums in the Humboldt Forum offers a unique opportunity to rethink the great collections.

13 interactive installations, 4 continents, 18 months

From the silk road in china to Oceania from Cameroon to the indigenous in today’s Canada. The installations in the different departments of the museums are as diverse as the artefacts on display and the historical contexts that are laid out. Each of the commissioned interactive installations was carefully developed together with historians, curators and local artists to guarantee a maximum degree of authenticity. The Space developer crew then made sure that these ingredients were put together to a very immersive experience talking directly to the addressed target group.
