Objects have stories. We give them a voice.

Every institution is different. Size, collection, and goals vary widely.

That is why we put together a tailored proposal quickly. We work with small museums and large institutions alike, and we scope Mein Objekt so it fits your framework.

The fastest way to clarify this is in a conversation.

No. Mein Objekt runs directly in the browser, with no app store, no download, and no installation.

Visitors scan a QR code and start immediately.

Fewer than 5% of museum visitors are willing to download an app, according to available studies.

We built Mein Objekt as a progressive web app because the best guide is the one everyone can actually use.

It works for small institutions just as well as for large ones. From 10 objects to hundreds.

Mein Objekt was originally developed for very large institutions, with a swipe module that makes even extensive collections easy to explore. In practice, we support both focused exhibitions with a few objects and complex collections with many layers.

A single app can represent multiple institutions, city partners, or cultural actors together: one city, one collection, one shared experience.

No. The editor is built for editorial work. If your team can write exhibition texts, it can make objects speak.

Your team works fully in the CMS: writing dialogues, embedding media, building tours, and publishing updates live.

No code, no agency. We support your team with onboarding and training from the start, and we stay available for questions.

Neither. The core is curated storytelling.

Your team writes the dialogues, defines the personality of each object, and approves the content.

AI can support the writing process, but dramaturgy, tone, and facts remain under your editorial control.

No hallucinations, no black box - just your institution's own voice.

All dialogues go through the same approval process as exhibition texts.

Voice, facts, and tone remain under your control. The editor supports editorial workflows for drafting, reviewing, approving, and publishing.

And if you want support while building the first content set, we are happy to help.

Digital experiences need data, but not personal visitor data.

Mein Objekt is intentionally designed without collecting personally identifiable visitor data.

We measure what matters for your institution: which objects are opened most often, where visitors spend time, and what works.

For analytics, we use a self-hosted Matomo instance: no US servers, no third-party dependency, and full institutional data control.

We follow common recommendations for digital accessibility.

High-contrast presentation, adjustable font sizes, and screen reader compatibility are included by default.

Plain-language variants can be added on request.

Yes, and it changes how museums are made.

In Karlsruhe, citizens wrote dialogues for the democracy project themselves. At Humboldt University, students developed content around a Japan excursion.

Mein Objekt invites experimentation: new voices can be heard, new perspectives on objects can emerge, and the museum becomes a place of participation, not only interpretation.
