Digital
Our digital formats offer an opportunity to explore the works of the Kunstpalast outside our premises and opening hours. Ranging from our video formats “Palastgespräch” or audio guides “Kunst zum Hören” to our virtual backgrounds available for download – there is something in store for everyone.
VIRTUAL GUIDED TOURS
The Kunstpalast offers public virtual guided tours on a regular basis. In a 60-minute Zoom tour our art experts provide an introduction to the most important works, as well as conceptual information illustrated with a wealth of image material from the respective exhibition.
Further information on our digital tours is available here.

WebXR
WebXR is the subject of the second digital experiment of nextmuseum.io and Hochschule Düsseldorf – University of Applied Sciences. Thus far, the web standard is at development stage.
The aim is that WebXR will make it possible to use individual XR applications, such as Augmented Reality, via a web browser without running an App. In spring 2022, nextmuseum.io supported a student research effort on WebXR technology by Jana Borchardt (M.Sc. Media and IT), who as part of her thesis made 3D-scans of objects held by the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and Museum Ulm. The results can be viewed on the following site, including a browser-based AR application, provided that the device used has a native AR viewer:
