DIGITAL OFFERS

To allow you to experience the museum from anywhere in the world, we have combined our digital formats here: Discover the permanent exhibitions with our multimedia guide and various tours from home or get creative with our hands-on tutorials.

MEDIAGUIDE

The museum app is a multimedia guide through the three-part permanent exhibition. Visitors can choose their own tours, discover the highlights of the collection or go on a rally through the museum.
A separate tour is available for children, which guides them through the museum in a playful way.

The Mediaguide is available as a web version, can be installed on your own device via an app in the PlayStore or AppStore and is also available free of charge on rental devices. The app is available in German and English.

It was made possible thanks to generous support from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the City of Leipzig (support as part of the guest tax).
