What will the natural history museum of the future look like?
Using international examples, architects, exhibition designers, curators, scientists, artists and journalists will present the trends and perspectives that are important for the natural history museums worldwide and for Senckenberg in planning its building extension in Frankfurt am Main.
Trends and perspectives of explaining the natural systems are the agenda. Museum masterplans, exhibition concepts, the iconic language of graphics and pictures, gaming and slaming, tv- documentary and social media are the channels of science communication.
