Futurium

There are many places to see and visit while visiting a new city. Many offer museums, collections of arts or graphics but it is a rare city that allows you to experience and see the future. One such exhibit is the Futurium in Berlin.

This is recommended for almost everyone – children for a view of the future and adults for what a good science and futuristic museum should look like.

Look up the website for more details: https://futurium.de/en

However, what they do extraordinarily well is to fix a problem that all museum goer’s have – how do you take back what you have learnt or seen and use it? Mostly it is toys and collectibles that are present in the museum shop but what Futurium has done is to to take that learning and bring it back with you. How did they do that? You take a RFID band that you wear while you are visiting the exhibits. You swipe it at an exhibit that you need to know more about. This RFID then records when you visited an exhibit and then it generates a specific code for you.

Later when you get back home – you can see what are the exhibits that you visited.

For example, check out this one:

This exhibit becomes uniquely yours!
