Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

The MS Wissenschaft is a riverboat hosting a science exhibition that travels across Germany and Austria on a yearly basis. This year, the theme of the exhibition is "Digitally on the move", and Wikimedia Germany and the open Knowledge Foundation Germany have partnered to contribute an exhibit about Open Data (an app based on public transport data from Berlin) and Open Knowledge (Wikipedia articles pertaining to topics along the route travelled by the boat in 2014).

This session will present the exhibit and how our contribution came to be, as well as lessons learned in the process that may be applicable to future involvement with other public exhibitions.
