When Scrolling Becomes an Experience

Eight coins. Eight moments in history. A digital exhibition by cura3D for the Deutsche Bundesbank.

A Coin Tells More Than Its Minting

The Brutus aureus is not simply displayed – it is placed within its historical moment. An animated painting makes the assassination of Caesar tangible and gives the coin a context that a museum label alone could not provide.

History You Hear, Not Just Read

With every scene change, a matching audio contribution starts automatically – a new feature compared with the first exhibition. The result is a rhythm of image, text, and voice that carries the content instead of merely accompanying it.

The Exhibition Remains Accessible.

Digital exhibitions have one advantage over physical ones: they never close. “From Brutus to Brandt” is still accessible today – for school classes, researchers, and interested audiences worldwide. A project that does not end when the last visitor leaves.
