German Museum of Books and Writing Leipzig, Germany

Background
To mark the opening of the Leipzig Buchmuseum (the German Museum of Books and Writing) in March 2012, a permanent exhibition spread over nearly 1,000 m2 was curated. This exhibition depicted the historical development of media formats, from the first printing press up to 20th century books and magazines, and on to the digital realm of the internet. Titled “Codes – Books – Networks: from Cuneiform Writing to Binary Code”, the exhibition needed an inviting display to entice visitors into that area of the museum, a challenge that was solved by SCHOTT MIRONA® glass.
