Building on the success at the European Researchers’ Night in Turin, the META-MUSEUM team traveled to Milan this past November to participate in Focus Live, the premier science communication festival held at the historic MuseoConnections that Transform: META-MUSEUM at Focus Live 2025
In a comprehensive review, the World Health Organization highlights the health benefits of art: it can prevent, manage, and treat diseases by improving mental well-being and reducing anxiety and depression (Fancourt & Finn, 2020).

As the end of the year approaches, the FSU Jena team and their students are focussing on implementation methods for their prototype designs. Several ideas have been made concrete and the first two are nowFrom bright ideas to compelling prototypes
The selection of physiological monitoring devices and indoor positioning systems is now complete, and the centralized MinIO based storage infrastructure is fully operational. We can now upload and manage datasets, while common data formats andStrengthening Data Foundations to Support Cultural Experiences
Beyond traditional surveys and headcounts, META-MUSEUM is exploring the “inner life” of the visitor by capturing the real-time emotional and physiological responses that define a museum visit. By shifting the focus from what people learn to how they actually feel, we have been working on developing a new educational modules tested across Europe that challenge us to think more deeply about the visitor experience.
The latest museum campaigns wrapped up with in-depth analysis that reveals both the strengths and the areas for improvement at partner museums. Using surveys and neuro-data, the project is ensuring that every step forward builds on real visitor experiences, making future exhibits even more impactful.
We’re excited to share insights from the recent training module workshop based on TMt, at the annual EMA Conference and Award Ceremony held in Budapest, Hungary.
META-MUSEUM project participated in the UNIGHT activities in Turin, which was part of the European Researchers’ Night. Collaborating with teams from POLITO, VILNIUS TECH, and STICHTING VU, and using a Bibliobus (a library on wheels) provided by the Turin municipality, the researchers tested a simplified version of the M4 system.
