In a world where technology and history often go their separate ways, the AR-Explorer in the Domschatz Minden creates an impressive bridge between past and present.
Museum experiences are constantly changing, because it is no longer just about looking, but rather about experiencing and being in the midst of things.
What does augmented reality offer museums?
The AR-Explorer museum app in the Domschatz Minden impressively demonstrates how modern technology can revolutionize our perception of historical artefacts.
A particularly outstanding example of this is the medieval window frame, which stands empty today but could once have been extremely magnificent.

Tangible added value for museum visitors
The AR-Explorer app creates real added value for visitors in the following ways:
1. completion instead of presentation
While empty frames are filled with digital content, fragments become complete again so that the brain no longer has to guess.
2. precise historical reconstruction
Contemporary stained glass, authentic colors and true-to-original sizes create a realistic image of the past.
3. simple operation
Open app.
Scan QR code.
4. deeper understanding
As previously hidden details suddenly become visible, historical connections are easier to recognize, making history more comprehensible.
The future of museum visits
The AR-Explorer in the Minden Cathedral Treasury is far more than just a technical gimmick, as it also functions as a time machine, teacher and translator between different eras.
Imagine standing in front of the empty window frame and raising your smartphone. And suddenly something that has been missing for centuries appears before your eyes.
As soon as the bright colors of the stained glass appear and the dividing slats and exact dimensions become visible, you will experience history up close.
This is the true added value of the AR Explorer app - it transforms the invisible into the visible and brings the past into the present.
What was previously just a bare frame becomes a living window into the past, whereby history no longer remains just text on signs, but actually becomes tangible and alive.
With AR-Explorer Museum , your museum becomes a modern experience that makes optimal use of today's technology.
