Immerse yourself in history: Bavarian State Archaeological Collection
Archaeology is old and dusty? Not at all! Bavaria’s State Archaeological Collection has just been renovated and its unique artifacts are now on display in a new light. The exciting augmented reality experience “Game of the Snake” imparts archaeological knowledge to children and young people and creates an entertaining approach to history and the past.
The same applies to the new web experience, where everyone can immerse themselves in the world of the Celts. Here, interested parties can learn more about the myths, gods and way of life of this early culture. The best thing about it is that the experience is part of the website of the State Collection and can be viewed from anywhere. Another innovation of the Bavarian museum is the hands-on tour, where touching is explicitly allowed! Certain exhibits can be felt in order to gain a better insight into history. This innovation is a real highlight, especially for visually impaired guests.
