The amount of information that is available for each object in museums is unlimited. Curators choose the most appropriate chunks of information when creating exhibitions with regards to the storyline. However, these chunks do not necessarily fit the desires and expectations of visitors due to the heterogeneity of this group. Another challenge curators face is that some parts of exhibits may have been destroyed or lost their coloring. To tackle these challenges, we present two concepts that allow to explore the exhibits in detail. These concepts are called Point.Explore.Learn. and Interactive Torch. Both concepts allow visitors to explore parts of the exhibits or background information that are from particular interest for them.
