The spatial evolvement of a Museums’ collection

How did geopolitics and scientific interests affect provenances in the European collection of the Museum der Kulturen Basel?

What is needed (skills, know-how, data): time! :)

Ideas on how to proceed:

  • Gather questions to ask the data
  • Refine the data
  • Create a landing page
  • Visualize the data (time and map)
  • maybe even link with some other opendata & create story

Goals during the GLAMhack 2021:

A simple visualization of the museum data!

Long-term vision:

An interactive tool where users could curate and save their journeys through the collection in time and space and where the data is enriched with links to e.g. wikidata
