In our new exhibition area “How big is my world?” you can also find out about the political issues associated with the extraction of raw materials. In interviews, people from Kamituga, a town in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, talk about their experiences. In order to create the VR experience, a real gold mine in Kamituga was scanned and modelled to scale. Recommended for ages 12 and older | also available in English and simple German.
