Bringing History to Life with Augmented Reality

The Tampere pilots use CitiVerse to bring culture and history to life through immersive digital experiences. From interactive public art maps and extended reality (XR) enhanced exhibitions to interactive storytelling of the 1918 Civil War, citizens and visitors can explore Tampere’s heritage in engaging new ways.

The pilots foster cultural participation, education, and creative expression by integrating XR into museums and public spaces.

Mikko’s story

“Mikko used to walk past public art and cultural landmarks without knowing their story. Now, he explores Tampere’s cultural heritage through his phone — discovering the history behind murals, sculptures, and even wartime landmarks. He shares his favorite
finds with friends and feels more connected to the city’s identity.”
