The largest technology museum in the world, the Deutsches Museum in Munich, will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2025. By the time this milestone is reached, the entire building as well as the 35 exhibitions will have been generally refurbished and modernised in two phases. Dieter Bogner and Katharina Knoll were commissioned with evaluating the spatial and functional programme for the remodeled museum from a museological perspective, taking into account interfaces and interactions between individual rooms and zones from the point of view of visitors’ needs and what they require of the museum. Furthermore, the team was to highlight any problems and present solutions for discussion.
With an exhibition space totalling 25,000 m2, corridors stretching for nine kilometres and just over one million visitors per year, the museum faces huge challenges: to adapt all aspects of the visitor experience–arrival, time spent at the museum and departure–to museum requirements.
