In connection with the 5th edition of NUMIX LAB (November 25-29, 2024 in Germany: Munich, Leipzig, Berlin), we are returning in a series of articles to various trends, dynamics and specificities linked to this country, its approach to culture, digital and immersive creativity. This first article takes a look at a number of German museums, their innovation projects and the collaborative models they are developing.
The decentralization of Germany’s cultural policy (supported by sixteen autonomous Länders) is particularly structuring when it comes to understanding the German museum sector. This decentralization fosters a variety of regional cultural policies and works to diversify the creative approaches of museums: experimental programs, artist residencies, artistic commissions, collaborations with technology companies, foundations or universities, and so on. However, heavy dependence on the vagaries of local political and financial stakes means that museum professionals have to find new resources to mobilize, both internally and with other partners.
This article will provide a context for the German museum sector (and the implications that the German federal organization generates). We will then analyze various inspiring innovation strategies, the fruit of the creativity of museum professionals and numerous collaborations with a wide range of partners. With sustainability as its main theme, the next edition of NUMIX LAB will promote exchanges and sharing on these various subjects with the Humboldt Forum, the Egyptian National Museum of Art, the European Patent Office, the lrz University (with its Center for Virtual Reality and Visualization) or the Museum für Naturkunde, etc.
