Games and other playful formats create connections – and open up new opportunities for museums in terms of education and participation. With the panel discussion “Gaming@Museum – neue Spielräume für Co-Creation?” on November 12, 2025, 18:00 CET, MFG Baden-Württemberg is highlighting the potential of games for culture as part of the Level Up! Gamification im Museum program. The focus lies on the question of how museums can become more open and co-creative spaces.
Actors from museums, academia, cultural policy, media education, and the games and creative industries will discuss playful formats for culture as well as the opportunities and challenges of cooperation. Taking part in the discussion are:
- State Secretary Arne Braun (Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst BW)
- Kevin Körner (Lecturer Digital Humanities, Universität Tübingen)
- Jonas Kirchner (Managing Director Pixelcloud)
- Laura Schuppli (Curator of Digital Media at the Stadtmuseum Aarau & Co-Founder Spielekultur GmbH)
- Dejan Simonović (Media Education Officer ComputerSpielSchule Stuttgart)
Moderation: Tina Lorenz (Head of Hertzlab, ZKM Karlsruhe)
Afterwards, MFG invites attendees to a reception for networking and exchange. Previously, starting at 16:00 CET, visitors can explore and try out different video game genres and consoles – guided by puzzle designer and game author Annekatrin Baumann.
