Kurzdarstellung

Kurzbeschreibung

Objects, manuscripts, letters etc. from former centuries are valuable treasures which are to be preserved. And even more: Cultural heritage is not only a question of preservation but of reviving it, putting new life into it.Our project "The Digital Beethoven House” takes care of both. 26.000 original documents are digitzed, e.g. sketches of sheets of music, music handwritings, first prints, letters, colored engravings, photographs, and pictures.These digital objects are the basis of a powerful online presence with possibilities to explore Beethoven´s world via the Internet. Communication with other Beethoven fans will be possible. The Beethoven museum´s facilities in Bonn will be supported and accessible for the broad public. One highlight will be a virtual installation in Bonn that will offer the adventure to experience one of Beethoven´s compositions.This poster will present some of the project´s highlights in more detail.
