FABIAN MÜLLER-NITTEL

Dr. Fabian Müller-Nittel is director of the Miltenberg Museums.

Before that, he was head of collection for art and cultural history until 1918 at the Upper Austrian State Museums of the OÖ Landes-Kultur GmbH.

His focus is on interdisciplinary and intermedial art history in the museum context as well as on questions of contemporary, barrier-free and inclusive museum management. He sees museums as open cultural social spaces with a holistic responsibility. His goal is to convey the content offered in an immersive way and to link it to the reality of life for the visitors. For this, he not only likes to work with original exhibition objects and personal mediation formats, but also tries to exhaust digital possibilities.
