The new museum director Kühner relies on digitization and interactivity!

A fresh breeze blows through the Hessian doll and toy museum in Hanau! The new museum director David Kühner has made a lot to drive the interactive experiences and make the museum attractive to a wider audience. The mayor will fully support the new course of the museum, which is all about digitization.

Kühner, who was born on April 12, 1989 and has a comprehensive experience - among other things as a curator in renowned institutions such as the Germanic National Museum - emphasizes the importance of a committed team and the volunteer. His goal is to expand the digital media and to present non-exhibited depot treasures online. This would like to expand the museum experience and enable a new view of the collection. "Digitization is not an end in itself, but a means of making art and culture accessible to everyone," explains Kühner.

Planning for the future

Digitization, which is a major challenge for many museums, becomes a central axis of development in the Hessian doll and toy museum. According to the Deutsche Museumsbund , the digital change offers numerous opportunities, especially in the area of ​​addressing visitor and the interactive conveying of content. Kühner will take the museum on this trip, among other things by improving the website and a more active social media work on platforms such as Instagram (@Hpusm).

For autumn and winter 2025, new special exhibitions and digital projects are already planned, which the museum should continue to lead to modern times. The first major events are to take place in the summer, including a supporting program for the Wilhelmsbad garden festival (June 19th to 22nd) and the museum birthday on August 31. Interested parties can find details on the company website and social media.

digital innovations in the museum

The challenges and opportunities of digitization are diverse. As technavigator reports, digital technologies museums open new dimensions in art and cultural mediation. This not only makes access to cultural content easier, but also enriches the visitor experience considerably. Virtual reality formats and interactive elements should find space in Kühner's concept to captivate both young and old.

In addition, the aim is to effectively improve the internal organization and public traffic through digital applications. Kühner says: "A combination of digital and analogous offers is valued by our visitors and can create an appealing experience." The synthesis of classic exhibitions and digital formats could be the key to preserving the cultural heritage for future generations.

The future of the Hessian doll and toy museum in Hanau shows that a good hand for innovative concepts and digital solutions is the right way to open the doors to the world of dolls and toys far. The museum becomes an exciting place that contacts its visitors not only on the physical but also on the digital level.
