Collection discovery simply explained

The Science Programme Collection Future presents the Collection Discovery and Development project through short explanatory films. The videos should simply illustrate which processes and work steps take place in the project and what its added value for society is. Since the Museum für Naturkunde sees itself as a user-oriented, integrated research museum in dialogue with society, the explanatory films should also reach a non-scientific audience and invite them to participate.

Based on own texts, the videos were created in cooperation with the application laboratory Mediasphere for Nature using the Simpleshow video maker, with graphics by Christine Oymann.
