Digital revolution in the ducal museum: 679 objects in focus!

In the Ducal Museum, the high degree of digitization of the extensive collection begins from January 2025. This type of project is of great importance, since digitization can be preserved and made accessible by digitization. In the middle of the permanent exhibition, two mobile digitization studios are now available, which will digitize a total of 679 objects by mid -2026, such as Gotha-aktuell.info . The high -quality digitalisates are designed in such a way that the historical rooms of the museum, especially the lighting conditions, are not affected. The service provider Julius Fröbus GmbH from Cologne developed a technology for this.

During the test phase that is already running, all processes are carefully tested and the necessary standards are created. From January, the first surface act with bacon stones, paint objects and ceramics will be tackled. There is a particular value on colors, file size and photographic perspectives. The goal is to create detailed digital illustrations that are important for future exhibitions. Spectators can follow this process via a real -time camera in the museum, which further fuels interest in digitization, so Mediarep.org .

technological innovation for cultural heritage

Digitization requires the latest technical processes to take the best possible to photograph the objects. Robert Niemz, an experienced photographer, explains that to ensure continuous sharpness, several shots are necessary, which are then digitally processed into a single picture. This is particularly important for small objects. The project is significantly supported by financial resources from the federal and state governments by 2027. Thanks to these investments, both the museum and Gotha Castle can benefit from this digital transformation in the coming years and continue to provide their collections for the public.
