Have you always wanted to have a museum to yourself? Immerse yourself in the Kirchner Museum Davos and experience the exhibitions from the comfort of your own home. The entire museum can be walked through true to the original and the exhibitions are recreated work by work. This allows you to explore the exhibitions individually. At any time and from any place. This offers a completely new museum experience. The exhibition is dedicated to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's sketchbooks. The world-famous artist carried a sketchbook with him every day and used it as a visual diary to record ideas, impressions or feelings. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) was one of the most important representatives of German Expressionism. He wrote art history as a founding member of the artists' group "Die Brücke". He lived in Dresden, Berlin and the last twenty years of his life in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos. The Kirchner Museum Davos is dedicated to his work and his life.
Mind blowing! I love the strength of Kirchner's colours and brushstrokes, two things I had not expected to really experience in a digital rendering. You really do. The experience is strong, I could stand and look at a single painting for many minutes, and it is absorbing enough that my 6y olds explored happily inside the museum for an hour, taking it in turns to explore the model horse, sketchbooks, large strongly coloured paintings, and "the leopard bed, the best bed in the world". I recommend you visit the Kirchner Museum Davos as soon as you have the chance!
Library of Realities.com review:. The Kirchner Museum in Davos welcomes viewers to explore four different exhibitions from the comfort of your home, all for free, and all in the best virtual reality museum experience we've seen to date. All that's missing is the gift shop.
Putting on your headset and launching the Meta Quest app reveals an undressed museum with bare walls everywhere. Find the menu however, and you become a time traveler in a way that would be impossible for a regular visitor of this museum. Choose from four different exhibitions and the walls and exhibit spaces are now filled with art, with each exhibition being a period frozen in time. Even changes in weather are apparent through the museum's large windows, lighting configurations adjust and the building's ambient sounds change.
Navigation controls are simple and effective, utilizing a teleportation mechanism and snap-turning for movement. Point at a piece of art, and a panel anchored to your off-hand provides interpretative content. The sense of place is very strong in this experience, and it's great to walk around at your own pace. A vaguely ominous musical piece plays quietly in the background on a short loop and we wished there was a way to turn this off.
Reproduction of the artworks is generally good, though some are presented in higher resolution than others. We could admire individual brushstrokes of one painting, only to move to the next and find it slightly fuzzy. The 3D modeling of the sculptures was also good, though we suspect there was detail in these figures that weren't visible to appreciate. Visiting these works in person is always going to be the best experience, but by our judgment this Meta Quest app is still the next best thing.
✅ Sense of space is very strong ✅ Explore multiple different exhibitions ✅ Good reproduction of artwork ✅ Teleport into some of the exhibits ❌ Resolution of some artwork could be better
