In the museum's 4,300 m³ exhibition space, the interactive artwork TOUCH captivates visitors by sensing human connection. When two people join hands, the artwork’s sensor field is activated, triggering a visual explosion that transforms the space into a galaxy of stars. This magical response highlights the power of human touch.

Developed specifically for the Draiflessen Collection, TOUCH emphasizes the significance of touch, an act that has gained profound meaning. The artwork shows how even the smallest shared interaction—like holding hands—can light up the world around us.

TOUCH invites visitors to reflect on the importance of connection, community, and collective effort, encouraging them to imagine a shared future. As artist Daan Roosegaarde says, “Light is the symbol of new beginnings. To create a better world, we must first imagine it.”

"Roosegaarde highlights an action we must never take for granted, opening our eyes to the infinite possibilities of the future," says Dr. Corinna Otto, Museum Director.
