MADE IN MV

Controversial discourse on technological achievements is as old and legitimate as the use of these achievements. As third places, museums in particular offer spaces for participation for a heterogeneous audience with constantly transforming demands. Empirical studies show that museums have a significant influence on their audience: museum content is not passively consumed or uncritically accepted, but rather processed in an active process in the museum and life experience of the visitors.

For this reason, the State Museum of Technology of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is keen to showcase and discuss current technical innovation processes in regional companies in the fields of business and industry, start-ups and private initiatives in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and to highlight their future prospects.

WHAT IS FOKUS:INNOVATION?

FOKUS:INNOVATION is an innovative exhibition project designed as a flexible and changeable exhibition system. It combines historical perspectives with current technical innovations and presents these in changing cabinet exhibitions. The central presentation venue is the Technical State Museum MV, a space for encounters, learning and exchange.

Funded by the German Foundation for Commitment and Volunteering, FOKUS:INNOVATION focuses on regional technical developments in business, science and industry. At the same time, it combines these with global issues on topics such as sustainability and climate change. The aim is not just to present innovations, but to create a place where the public is actively involved in the dialogue about the challenges and potential of technological advances.

OUR GOALS

Controversial discourses on technical achievements are as old and legitimate as their use. As third places, museums in particular offer participation spaces for a heterogeneous audience with constantly changing demands. Empirical studies have shown that museums have a considerable influence on their audiences: museum content is no longer just passively consumed or uncritically accepted, but is rather processed in an active process in the museum and life experience of the audience.

For this reason, the Technical State Museum of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern aims to highlight and present current technical innovation processes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in the fields of business and industry, start-ups and business creation, science and research. By highlighting future utilisation horizons and areas of application for the corresponding innovations, we enter into an active exchange with our museum audience and, on the basis of facts and scientific data, promote objective debates about necessary changes as well as concrete and real-life incisions for each individual in connection with the major challenges of our time.

Everything revolves around regional responses to global issues relating to globalisation, demographic change, population growth, artificial intelligence, sustainability, climate change and climate impact adaptation. How do we want to live in the future? How do we want to work and live in the future? What will we pass on to future generations and how will the baton be passed on as part of the generational transition?

The FOKUS:INNOVATION project creates a link between the historical collection of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern State Museum of Technology and current technical achievements and innovative impulses and, as a place to raise awareness, offers opportunities to engage in an active and safe dialogue with developments.

By juxtaposing historical patent highlights and their developments with contemporary issues of global sustainability, this process is brought together in the museum in analogue and digital form and opened up to a wide audience. In the field of tension between greenwashing and greenbashing, the project counters populist trends and focuses on the challenges, processes and areas of application of the leaps in innovation.

OUR APPROACH

Museums as ‘third places’ offer space for open discussions. In the project, we address regional responses to global challenges such as climate change, AI, sustainability and demographic change. We encourage fact-based, constructive debates and invite our audience to actively engage with innovations.
