A Window on Nature and Art: The Virtual Research Environment of the Berlin Kunstkammer (Das Fenster zur Natur und Kunst: Forschungsumgebung zur Brandenburgisch-Preußischen Kunstkammer) is a “research environment” that provides digital access to the most important inventories, catalogs, and descriptions of this collection, including objects that have been reconstructed from a selection of sources.
The site offers scholars two different search environments (Objects and Sources) and a way to browse by eight subjects (e.g., Materials, Institutions, Places of Origin). Explanatory text can be displayed in English but all content is in German and must be searched accordingly. Content published on A Window on Nature and Art is current as of December 2022 but with updates to come.
The project was carried out by Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and Staatliche Museen zu Berlin between 2018 to 2022.
