Future Walk

With this augmented reality app you can explore the Kulturforum Berlin and its museums in an interactive way. Your Future Walk begins when Andrea, a museum curator from the year 2261, contacts you via the stolen anti-telephone. Join him on his secret mission!

In the future, knowledge about the past has been destroyed and the Kulturforum has been reclaimed by nature. Interesting new plants grow where the artworks used to be. It is your task to find the museum objects that have been lost in Andreas time. Together you unlock exciting background information.

You decide when and where to start. Do you want to go to the Gemäldegalerie, the Musikinstrumenten-Museum or the Kunstgewerbemuseum? Maybe you want to take a walk through the streets of the Kulturforum first. You decide order and pace. After you have explored all four areas, your Future Walk ends and you will find out whether the anti-telephone is a curse or a blessing.
