Immersive exhibitions are becoming increasingly popular – they make art visible and tangible.

Hamburg is setting a strong course in the digital cultural landscape with creative concepts and pioneering new developments. For curious families in particular, there are numerous opportunities to discover art in a completely new and exciting way.
