CRIME at TECHNOSEUM: Searching for clues between technology, history, and crime

Crime is everywhere – and from this, TECHNOSEUM is developing an extraordinary artistic experience of technology and cultural history. The special exhibition CRIME – The Technique of Crime takes place on November 8, 2026, through ten interactive stations across six floors. Visitors discover how closely crime, investigative work, and technological progress are intertwined.

From fingerprint evidence to digital deepfake

The exhibition connects forensics, media history, and social questions into a multifaceted examination of the work. DNA analyses, composite sketches, crime scene photography, spy cameras, computer hacks, and deep fakes show how the methods of resolution change with each epoch. Technology does not appear as a neutral backdrop, but as a tool that shapes perception, evidence, and power.

Interactive stations for curious sleuths

CRIME invites participation: minting a coin, checking counterfeit money, decrypting codes with Enigma and Skytale, examining fingerprints and fibers, or creating a composite sketch. In the laser tunnel, the physical tension of the crime film becomes tangible, while stations on product piracy, surveillance, and manipulated images sharpen the critical view of our present.

Criminal history as cultural education

The curation focuses not only on spectacular cases but also on the cultural, scientific, and social conditions of crime and resolution. TECHNOSEUM complements the exhibition with guided tours, workshops, a CRIME workshop for families, and offerings for schools. The exhibition texts, the rally booklet, and the TECHNOSEUMApp are available in German and English; video stations provide subtitles and German Sign Language. Touch tours and tours in German Sign Language expand the accessible mediation.

An atmospheric journey through six floors

The spatial dramaturgy makes the tour an aesthetic experience: light, technical devices, historical images, and interactive media create a thrilling exhibition atmosphere. Between scientific precision and playful discovery, a museum experience emerges that appeals to families, technology enthusiasts, and friends of criminal history alike.

Conclusion: Understanding technology, reading traces, questioning the present

CRIME – The Technique of Crime combines knowledge, excitement, and cultural education into an unusual exhibition at TECHNOSEUM Mannheim. Anyone wanting to experience how fingerprinting, DNA, cameras, and artificial intelligence change our perception of truth should definitely visit this special exhibition live.
