Providing accessible ways to our cultural heritage is a key responsibility for modern societies. This paper outlines ideas for using new Augmented and Virtual Reality technologies at museums. First, we will give a short introduction on the latest developments of AR/VR technology and their inherent potentials for museums. Secondly, the ongoing R&D project “HoloMuse” will be introduced which aims at developing new forms of Augmented Learning for cultural heritage venues. HoloMuse is a collaborative effort of technology partners, academic institutions, and worldwide renowned museums to make the next steps towards real innovative and meaningful museum visitor experiences based on AR/VR technologies and cutting-edge learning theories. We will outline several deployment scenarios of AR/VR in museums giving a prospective on the future of cultural learning.
