What technologies are available? Wich best suits your goals? What skills do you need to innovate? In this three-day pressure cooker camp, participants investigated the possibilities of technology in exhibition design and created a unique exhibition that incorporates new forms of storytelling.
The Allard Pierson Museum and the Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam provided the objects, spaces and stories. MuseumCamp Amsterdam brought together a group of passionate and talented professionals, keen to learn from and with each other in various workshops and shared activities.
MuseumCamp is inspired in part by the annual MuseumCamp run by the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.
