Lighting for the micromuseum® for Erich Kästner in Dresden

The micromuseum® developed by Ruairí O’Brien, a modern piece of architecture, work of art and interactive working tools, reflects the diverse personality and work of the world-famous children’s book author, poet, media person and journalist Erich Kästner. The careful insertion of a new „heart“ into the listed Villa Augustin on Albertplatz, into the former home of Kästner’s uncle, by means of a microarchitectural implantation of a house within the house – consisting of a multimedia core and 13 mobile, life-sized information modules – creates a living bridge between the past, Present and future as well as all generations. By examining and operating the life-size building blocks such as the multimedia components, visitors gain access to the exhibition content and provide insights into Erich Kästner’s complex world. In which he can gain insights on a self-directed route and at a self-determined pace.
