Abstract
This case study describes an approach to designing interactive museum installations as a student project with the aim of presenting the research results of the restoration process of paintings to a wide range of visitors. During one and a half years, the Chair of Media Design created five interactive media stations in two lectures to enrich the special exhibition "Veronese: The Cuccina Cycle. The Restored Masterpiece". The project was realised in close communication with the conservators of the Dresden State Art Collections and the employees of the Science and Archaeometric Laboratory of the Dresden University of Fine Arts. The students had to learn about the foreign content and how to translate it into a media-related environment. With suitable teaching methods, we pushed the students towards a deeper understanding of the matter.
