Museum Roter Haubarg
Roter Haubarg
Witzwort, North Frisia (DE) – 2024
At the Roter Haubarg Museum, we have completely transformed the traditional idea of a “local history museum” into an immersive experience by incorporating elements of theater, gaming, and audio storytelling.
The new exhibition operates without text panels, photographs, graphics, or media stations. The exhibits speak for themselves; they communicate their story without needing explanation. Each exhibit possesses a distinct character and an unmistakable voice conveyed through its own loudspeaker. The house serves as both the stage for the new exhibition and the most important exhibit. As you approach the individual characters, they share stories about their lives. Some create music through real-time generative composition using sampled sounds from the original objects. Every hour, visitors are immersed in one of four extended narratives presented collectively by all the exhibits. The exhibition seamlessly continues into the outdoor space with an audio walk. The charming Roter Haubarg invites you to enjoy an informative stroll.
The Red Haubarg comes alive; the unique exhibits are engaging and playful, allowing visitors to become part of the story—a cohesive microcosm of living objects within the authentic atmosphere of a historical cultural monument.
