Curator determines the cloud types
The submitted photos will be reviewed and classified by Dr. Daniela Matenaar , curator of the exhibition. Visitors will thus not only receive a platform for their sky photographs, but also expert information on the respective cloud types .
The selected images will be presented on two levels starting on August 22, 2025 :
- On-site at the museum: in a specially designed peephole installation, inspired by nostalgic panoramic boxes.
- Online in a virtual "cloud gallery" on the HLMD website.
Preview of the exhibition “Clouds. Experience and Understand”
The exhibition offers a multimedia journey through the world of clouds . The focus is on spectacular weather phenomena, 3D models , scientific exhibits , and an interactive experiment on cloud formation . The aim is to make complex meteorological processes understandable and to explain the diversity of cloud types in an accessible way. Visitors can try their hand at being " cloud explorers " and experience how dynamic processes in the sky influence our climate.
