This is about research.

Research gives a museum knowledge, which it then makes publicly accessible. By means of an exact description in an archive (inventory) and proof of its origin (provenance), the object can be classified into known contexts.

LEARNING GOALS AND COMPETENCES

  • use resources
  • get to know research as work area
  • present the results of your research

Augmented Reality App

In the TAMAM project, mosque communities have been working with the Museum for Islamic Art since 2015 to develop new ways of teaching culture. Following the publication of teaching materials, a free app was released that uses augmented reality to present background information on selected objects in the collection.
