CRIME at TECHNOSEUM: Tracing evidence between technology and crime

Crime is everywhere – and this is exactly what TECHNOSEUM Mannheim develops into a fascinating art experience of knowledge. The special exhibition CRIME – The Technique of Crime takes visitors through ten interactive stations across six floors, connecting criminal history, cultural history, and scientific enlightenment.

An exhibition as a walkable evidence collection

The exhibition shows how closely crime and its resolution are tied to the technical possibilities of their respective eras. DNA analyses, composite sketches, crime scene photography, computer hacks, and deep fakes open a perspective on work in which technology is never neutral but raises societal questions about truth, surveillance, and proof.

Interactive stations with criminological thrills

Visitors decode codes on a replica of the Enigma, compare fingerprints, create their own mug shot, and navigate through a laser tunnel like master thieves on their way to a vault. A blown-up ATM, historical criminal cases, product piracy, and the so-called dieselgate make the exhibition a varied combination of object presentation, installation, and museum educational mediation.

From forensics to deep fake

The thematic range extends from classic methods of evidence collection to current digital forms of crime. Composite sketches, surveillance cameras, and computer technologies direct attention to questions of how images are created, how identities are read, and where the boundaries of technical knowledge lie. The exhibition atmosphere thrives on the interplay between historical exhibits, experimental stations, and thrillingly staged tasks.

Cultural education for families, schools, and adults

CRIME is aimed at both large and small detectives. Tours, workshops, a CRIME workshop, and offers for schools deepen the themes of forensics, cybercrime, media education, and computer science. Exhibition texts, the rally booklet, and the TECHNOSEUM app are available in German and English. Video stations provide subtitles and German sign language; additionally, tactile tours and tours in German sign language can be booked.

Conclusion: The history of technology as an exciting aesthetic experience

TECHNOSEUM transforms the exhibition into a forensic journey through six floors: educational, sensory, and surprisingly interactive. Those interested in the history of technology, criminal history, media, and social issues will experience an exhibition that sharpens their perspective and engages them sustainably. A visit to CRIME – The Technique of Crime enriches cultural education and turns every visit into a personal investigation.
