Action Area

Experience technology, give it a go and strike up a conversation

In MUTEC’s central Action Area, visitors can experience museum technology first-hand. Here, exhibitors present selected applications, exhibits and solutions outside the confines of a traditional exhibition stand – for visitors to view, try out and discover.

The spectrum ranges from digital and interactive applications, through multi-sensory and inclusive educational solutions, to technical exhibits for use in museums and exhibitions. Visitors can explore the exhibits at their own pace and engage directly with the participating exhibitors.

    Next to the Action Area: the Pitch Area. Here, exhibitors give short presentations to showcase their applications, products and projects, and provide insights into the ideas and technologies behind them.
