The creation of 3D models of artworks is an increasingly common practice in art education, opening up new ways of engaging with objects. As part of the master's seminar in the winter semester 2025/26 "Introduction to the Conception of 3D Objects and Exhibitions", students captured 3D scans of selected objects from the Meissen Porcelain Museum. The seminar was held by PD Dr Angela Dreßen, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Advanced Study.
Presented thematically, the objects can now be experienced by visitors from all over the world in the immersive exhibition "Meissener Porzellan im virtuellen Fokus".
This online exhibition is dedicated to the early works of Meissen porcelain, with a focus on the 18th century – an era in which the so-called "white gold" became one of the most coveted luxury goods in Europe. Through a selection of objects, visitors can explore the development from initial technical experiments to artistically designed vessels and figurines for courtly banquets and bourgeois households. The 3D models allow visitors to view the objects up close and discover details of the decoration, as well as traces of use or restoration.
