M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

Embracing the possibilities of new media, M HKA is making a particular effort to share its knowledge and give art the framework it deserves.

We are currently focusing on the experience in the museum with this application for smartphones and tablets. In the future this will also lead to a versatile desktop version, which is now still in its construction phase.

The Great German Art Exhibition took place eight times from 1937 to 1944 at the Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German Art) in Munich, a monumental neoclassical building, which had been constructed especially for this purpose.The exhibition was propagated a sthe most important cultural event in Nazi Germany and the main representative of art under National Socialism. The first exhibition opened just a day before the Entartete kunst exhibition, so that 'degenerate art' and the art promoted by the regime, the so-called 'German art', would be intentionally juxtaposed. In his opening speech on July 18, 1937, Hitler gave a comprehensive presentation of the National Socialist understanding of 'German art', defining the new German art stylistically and ideologically with the words: "To be German means to be clear". (“Deutsch sein, heißt klar sein”), which was implied to be “logical” and above all true.
