On Saturday, October 18, Munich will once again become a stage for night owls and museum enthusiasts. Over 100 museums will open their doors for “Munich’s Long Night of Museums.” And this year, hands-on technological innovations are part of the program. Under the motto “Startups belong in the museum!” the Munich Innovation Ecosystem and Munich Startup will present 13 AI programs and startups at the State Museum of Egyptian Art. Visitors can try out interactive applications and experience how artificial intelligence shapes art, culture, and our everyday lives.

Among the exhibiting startups, selected teams from the AI Nation prototype development program will demonstrate how young companies with social relevance are actively shaping AI development. The goal of the event is to bring technology and culture together – and to show how innovation opens up new perspectives.

Exhibitors at the State Museum of Egyptian Art:
