Digital museum guide meets Chat
Mein Objekt
A Multimedia Guide That Does More Than Just Inform!
Object Chats transform your exhibition on your visitors' smartphones into a playful adventure. Users discover matching exhibits and experience exciting and unforgettable conversations with them.
You need no technical infrastructure in your exhibition spaces. Not even WiFi. 😊
Mein Objekt was developed as part of the museum4punkt0 consortium project and has since been implemented in renowned museums.
Mein Objekt can:
Multimedia Guide
Use Mein Objekt to create your multimedia guide with object profiles, location maps, code entry, photos and audio guide function!
Object-Chat
With object chats, you can playfully introduce your visitors to more in-depth topics, open up subjective perspectives or address ambivalences. By interacting with the object, users become emotionally involved and are encouraged to reflect.
Audience research
With Mein Objekt, evaluation questions can be integrated into the object chats. The exhibits ask questions in conversation with the users, whose answers you can evaluate in a targeted manner.
Participation
Use the object chats for inreach and outreach projects with different communities! Our framework is perfect for visualizing diverse perspectives and promoting the creativity of participants.
AI image recognition
Our automatic image recognition makes it even easier for your users to find the content for the objects they are interested in. They simply take a photo of the object and our artificial intelligence guides them to the corresponding object profile.
Empowerment Package
Digital tools cost a lot of money. With our Empowerment Package, we enable museums with smaller budgets to produce their own content. In this way, we reduce the costs for your guide and your team gains even more expertise in the digital field.

Playful & digital
Visitor Journey
Users can access the objects they are interested in via the Number selection, the overview map or the Swipe-Tool unique to Mein Objekt.
For each object, users can always choose between the informative object profile and the personal chat with the object.
The chat gives the object a personality. New perspectives open up and critical aspects are put up for discussion. The objects sometimes speak whimsically and sometimes euphorically. But maybe one of them is depressed or has a weakness for vegan cheesecake.
Objects with a thematic focus or for a specific target group can be grouped together in tours .
Users can call up their favorite objects at any time using the favorites function .
Benefit from our academic connections!
We work closely with gamelab.berlin - a research and development platform at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin that conducts research into games as a cultural technique.
With Mein Objekt, you get a modern, digital mediation offering that uses gamification elements to generate long-term motivation, meets contemporary usability expectations and is fun.
Attract new visitors and build long-term loyalty. The results of our user surveys speak for themselves.
Everyone talks about digitalisation and digitality, but what does it really mean? The participatory process of content creation creates a deep understanding of the potential of digital from day one and contributes to the positive development of your organisation.
We can host Mein Objekt on German servers operated with green electricity by dogado GmbH.
We also keep the data transfer in the app to a minimum by downloading in advance, which saves resources.

You don't need any digital infrastructure, because Mein Objekt runs independently on your visitors' smartphones.
Customer testimonials
What our partners have to say:
With sciencely, we succeed in building a playful bridge between science and society. The realisation that science, despite its seriousness, can also be fun and relevant to everyone's everyday life opens the door to people who may never have seen a university from the inside. With sciencely, we have the opportunity to engage in a multidirectional dialogue on important social and scientific issues again and again, quickly and with a low threshold.
Birgit Mangelsdorf
Head of the Department of Communication, Marketing and Event Management at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
With Mein Objekt // Ping! the Badisches Landesmuseum has taken a giant leap into the (digital) future. The process was a lot of fun for our staff and the citizens involved, and the result is fantastic. The dialogues with the exhibits are sometimes very funny, sometimes very touching - but always entertaining and exciting.
Prof. Dr. Eckart Köhne
President of the German Museums Association and Director of the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe
The My Object app is an enrichment for our museum on many levels! By engaging in a personal dialogue with the exhibits, users can learn exciting details and anecdotes about the cultural history of technology in a playful way. The digital dialogue can take place before, during or after a visit to the museum. It is also helpful for us to find out which objects are particularly "dated". We can use this information to develop new exhibitions and optimise them for our target groups.
Joachim Breuninger
Director and Chairman of the Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin
For many people, dating apps in some form or another are part of everyday life, so why not try using them in the hallowed halls of a museum? Of course, it's also about breaking down barriers: Tackling the fear of museum spaces and the fear of high art through new technologies.
Prof. Dr. Isabelle Dolezalek
Junior Professorship for Art History University of Greifswald
The app is the result of a joint seminar held by the Bode Museum and the University of Greifswald.

What will it cost?
We offer different packages depending on the resources you wish to contribute.
If you have the capacity within your organisation for the various steps required, our Empowerment Package enables you to create a comparatively cost-effective solution. In addition to the kick-off workshops, the only costs are for hosting and maintenance.
Conversely, if you don't have the capacity, our multi-disciplinary team can take on all the tasks. You have the final say and therefore control over the end result.
How is content created?
The chats can be written in a participatory process with local and international communities, employees or other experts.
The Chat Builder we have developed helps the authors to create the content in a way that it can be used for the app.
The necessary expertise on a dramaturgical, content and technical level can be built up in workshops or through our empowerment package. We can support you in these editorial writing processes with varying degrees of intensity or take over the entire content creation process. Empowerment Package aufgebaut werden. Wir können Sie bei diesen redaktionellen Schreibprozessen unterschiedlich intensiv begleiten oder die Content Erstellung vollständig übernehmen.
What are the advantages over other visitor guides?
With Mein Objekt, your visitors no longer have to choose between an informative guide and an entertainment - they get both at the same time!
Your cultural offer is personalised based on the user's profile, and the user's personal choices have real consequences.
What if we don't need all the features?
The multimedia guide and object chat modes can be used independently. It is also possible to add chat and/or audio commentary to specific objects only. The evaluation tool can currently only be used in conjunction with an object chat.
Mein Objekt was developed on behalf of the Humboldt Forum Foundation in the Berlin Palace by Humboldt Innovation GmbH, Thomas Lilge, Christian Stein as part of the museum4punkt0 joint project funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and further developed in cooperation with the Badisches Landesmuseum as part of the Creative Collections project.
