EXPLORING SYNERGIES 
IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES 
Digital Days 2024: First edition in Luxembourg and Dudelange 
The success of launching our online collections 
platform in autumn 2023 demonstrated a significant 
interest in our museum’s digital offerings. Building on 
this momentum, we aimed to integrate more digital 
tools into our public programming. Examples include 
our new 3D printing workshop and the incorporation 
of digital tools into initiatives like the Kulturralleye or 
the City Rally. 
While seemingly ubiquitous, the digital is a rela- 
tively new space that is being built by many actors 
with very different goals in mind. It is, therefore, 
important to participate in the discussions about that 
space, how we use it and what we want it to look like 
in the future. That is why we wanted to start having 
more conversations with digital humanities experts, 
including academics, cultural heritage professionals 
and other practitioners. There are many ways to 
use digital tools in the cultural sector, from creating 
new objects to generating and then sharing new 
insights. Bringing different practitioners together can 
broaden our perspectives and create new synergies. 
This was what we wanted to do with Digital Days, a 
two-day event exploring the intersections of culture 
and technology. It was during informal conversations 
with our colleagues from the Centre National de 
l’Audiovisuel (Cna) and the Musée national d’histoire 
naturelle (MNHN) that the idea for the event first took 
shape and we ended up organising it together. 
DAY 1: HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS 
On the 7th and 8th of November around 50 partici- 
pants from different backgrounds came together 
for two days of fruitful exchanges. The first day was 
spent at the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart where 
attendees explored different practical digital ap- 
proaches in hands-on workshops. Half the partici- 
pants spent the day with Martina Zunica, information 
designer, who gave a workshop on data visualisa- 
tion. They explored the museum and later worked 
on visualising that experience using digital tools. The 
other half got a glimpse into editing Wikidata using 
Openrefine with Edurne Kugeler in the morning and 
learned the basics of creating 3D models using 
photogrammetry with Paul Braun from the MNHN
