Visitor, user interview, April 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe guided tour via the audio guide weaves the individual exhibits into a coherent narrative \u2013 you suddenly understand how it all fits together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Visitor, user interview, April 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great that the audio guide is also available in Polish \u2013 after all, the exhibition itself is only labelled in German and English. That meant we could understand the content much better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
Visitor, user interview, April 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy listening, I took away much more than I usually do. It\u2019s less tiring, and I was able to look at the exhibits at my own pace whilst the guide was speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Visitor, user interview, April 2026<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
