Allow camera and location services. Use headphones for best AR experience. BELLE is an interactive AR installation located at Merkelpark, Esslingen. Please go to the center of the park to experience BELLE's metamorphosis.

It is created for the main hall (Lichthof) inside the Villa Merkel Museum and can be placed anywhere you want to.

A lot has happened since the sculptures were created hundreds of years ago. Give them an update with your smartphone. Place body parts and objects in your own space to create new images. Get creative, take photos and get the Bode Museum's collection into motion. The digital game was initiated by lab.Bode - an initiative to strengthen educational work in museums. It can be played alone or in a group, at home, at school, in nature or in the city. Stories and insights behind the sculptures can be discovered in a playful way while links to contemporary imagery are created. The focus is on the players' own creativity. An accompanying methods booklet offers inspiration for creative extension and cross-curricular application in the classroom.
