The author addresses the challenge that at todays museums and cultural institutions a substantial part of collections remain unseen, limited by spatial constraints. It proposes digital technology as a solution to unlock the potential of these hidden treasures. The paper explores the effectiveness of digital visualization and storytelling in making collections more accessible and engaging to a varied audience. Three case studies are presented: the digitalization of the East-Asian porcelain collection of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Berlin Brandenburg (SPSG), the innovative digital initiatives at Museum Rietberg, and the „InTaVia“ research and innovation project. Each illustrates how digital tools can manage, present, and interpret extensive information, improving visitor interaction, enhancing educational value, and preserving cultural heritage. The paper demonstrates how digital strategies can reshape the way museum collections are accessed and experienced, bringing a wider array of cultural artifacts and histories into public view. eng Cultural heritage data Data visualization Digital storytelling Museum collections Knowledge graphs Extended/immersive reality (XR) 2025-07-14T08:39:22.692Z LOMv1.0 Author BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 N:Seirafi;Kasra; FN:Kasra Seirafi END:VCARD https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/scheme https://w3id.org/kim/hcrt/text Textdokument Text LOMv1.0 yes https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf 717744 https://phaidra.ustp.at/o:7217 https://phaidra.ustp.at/api/object/o:7217/thumbnail LOMv1.0 discipline https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/6 HUMANITIES GEISTESWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/604 Arts Kunstwissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/6040 Arts Kunstwissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/2 TECHNICAL SCIENCES TECHNISCHE WISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/202 Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information Engineering Elektrotechnik, Elektronik, Informationstechnik https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/2020 Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information Engineering Elektrotechnik, Elektronik, Informationstechnik https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/202022 Information technology Informationstechnik https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5 SOCIAL SCIENCES SOZIALWISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/508 Media and Communication Sciences Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/5080 Media and Communication Sciences Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012 https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/2 TECHNICAL SCIENCES TECHNISCHE WISSENSCHAFTEN https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/202 Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information Engineering Elektrotechnik, Elektronik, Informationstechnik https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/2020 Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Information Engineering Elektrotechnik, Elektronik, Informationstechnik https://w3id.org/oerbase/vocabs/oefos2012/202002 Audiovisual media Audiovisuelle Medien
