Audio guides. On the right track with art.

Explore collections at your own pace, linger in awe with information in your ear or just take a quick look at some of the exhibits: Many people interested in culture enjoy the possibilities offered by audio guides with their personalised selection options.

With our audio tours developed for the Berlinische Galerie, this is possible on site, from home or on the move: whether at home on the sofa, with an audio walk app outside in the city or via audio guide directly in front of the exhibits.

"Magic of the North"

The 2023 Berlin exhibition highlight "Magic of the North" by the Norwegian master Edvard Munch recently opened its doors. What few people know is that the artist had a very special relationship with Berlin. He moved to the city in 1893 and caused plenty of scandal here. With this exhibition, the Berlinische Galerie sheds light on the history of Edvard Munch and the interactions between the city and the painter through paintings, prints and photography.
With around 60 exhibitions at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century, Berlin is one of the centres of Munch's work. The exhibition includes around 80 of his works, complemented by works by other artists who shaped the idea of the North and the modern art scene on the Spree in Berlin at the end of the 19th century. His colourful works can be best experienced with the audio guide we have developed!

"The fact that we can offer our audio guides online as a web-based application creates real added value for our visitors."

Into the depths of the work and beyond the museum

The many traces of Hungarian artists that have characterised Berlin since the Golden Twenties - the work of the highly esteemed Nordic symbolist Edvard Munch, whose groundbreaking modernity disturbed many contemporaries - or Berlin's architecture of the 1980s, which invites you to take a stroll through the city even further away from the museum building: The Berlinische Galerie is breaking new ground in art education with the 3pc audio guides.

"Anything Goes - Berlin architecture of the 1980s"

For the exhibition "Anything Goes? - Berlin Architectures of the 1980s" at the Berlinische Galerie, we conceived, graphically designed and realised an audio walk application in 2021. The tour can be used as a free web app for the exhibition: Three routes along important buildings of the International Building Exhibition (IBA) Berlin 1987 in Kreuzberg and to the postmodern buildings in West and East Berlin along Friedrichstraße invite you to take an audio walk through the city.
"Anything Goes?" provides information on the history behind the buildings. Additional information in German or English makes it possible to experience events on the tour directly on site, in the centre of Berlin, via smartphone. In this way, the exhibition space is extended beyond the museum and Berlin is included as a place for historical developments.

More than audio: works brought into the living room

Starting with the architectural history audio walk, we have continued to develop the application: Not only can guided tours be taken directly on site, outside in Berlin's cityscape, at any time using the smartphone app; initial impressions of other exhibitions can be gained from home via the Berlinische Galerie website. Exciting details and quotes from contemporary and reception history complement the embedding of the respective work in biographical data - if desired, sometimes supplemented by a picture description that allows the exhibits to emerge before the inner eye.

All tours can also be listened to independently of your own location. This means that the places or works presented can also be experienced by people who are unable to visit the Berlinische Galerie.

Foaming, abysmal, cosmopolitan and glittering.

Berlin plays a special role in the history of Hungarian art and culture: whether as an exhibition stage for Hungarian artists to present themselves to an international audience in the growing metropolis of the 1920s. Or for artists who were expelled from their homeland after a failed revolution in 1919 and found a refuge and a place of creative freedom here.
Ever since Berlin Babylon, we have had an idea of the Berlin of the Weimar Republic in our heads. But few people realise that the experimental Berlin avant-garde also included numerous artists from Hungary. Between November 2022 and February 2023, the Berlinische Galerie hosted the largest exhibition of Hungarian art in Germany since the fall of communism.
Whether from your sofa at home or on site with your smartphone at hand, we created an audio guide for the Berlinische Galerie for the "Magyar Modern" exhibition, in which there was a lot to discover about Hungarian painting, photography, film and architecture from 1910 to 1933.
With our audio guide, there was something for the ears as well as the eyes: users could switch between sound and image and discover how Hungarian creativity continues to have an impact today.

Growth potential

However, it is not only the technical design of the audio walks and guides that is constantly being expanded with additional functions: the content of the application can also be expanded by editors at any time to include further tours. For example, an optional site plan for exhibitions at the Berlinische Galerie has been added and now serves as a modular basis for presenting the works on display to interested parties.

Ferdinand Hodler and Berlin Modernism

The Berlin chapter of the internationally renowned painter Ferdinand Hodler is rather unknown, although the city was one of the most important stations on his path to international success: from 1898 to 1914, the Swiss artist had around 40 exhibitions here.

Hodler's work was last shown on a large scale in Berlin in 1983, which was followed by the Berlinische Galerie at the end of 2021. The exhibition "Ferdinand Hodler and Berlin Modernism" traced the painter's success story on the Spree. Our audio guide to the exhibition helped to present Hodler as an important figure in Berlin's modernist art scene and demonstrate his role as a pioneer of Expressionism and Abstraction.
