When museum spaces meet artificial intelligence
At the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, Cabinet of Wonders: Cultural Mediation 2.0 – Interactive Museum Tour with AI is creating an artistic experience that surprising combines classical artwork observation and digital cultural mediation.

On July 11, 2026 and again on August 1, 2026, an experimental space will open from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM for all who wish to think together about contemporary art, mediation, and technology.

A museum as a space for contemporary thought
The Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum is one of the oldest museums in Europe and preserves a collection of around 4,000 artworks from 3,000 years of art history. Combining a painting gallery, sculpture, craft, and graphic collection creates the ideal resonance space for a format that understands museum mediation as a vibrant dialogue. The tour addresses the exciting questions of cultural education today: those of orientation, interaction, and relevance in the exhibition space.

Cultural mediation 2.0 with experimental spirit
A robot guides the exhibition and demonstrates how individual and playful museum mediation can be today. Together with Prof. Dr. Tobias Dörnbach, it will be experimented, questioned, and reflected upon what works in mediation and what does not. This is precisely where the format gains its tension: visitors do not merely experience a tour, but a laboratory of perception, in which AI, art history, and audience engage in a productive exchange.
