our team
The core of the PEEK&POKE team consists of people who take care of the museum on a daily basis. In addition to the co-founders, there are many who have joined along the way and remain part of the team to this day. They are writers, designers, developers, administrators - or simply good hosts and digital age enthusiasts. Whoever welcomes you as a curator, you will not be disappointed! :)
Proactive creative mind and initiator, stubborn icebreaker, co-founder and museum manager from day one to the present day. The soul and body of the museum and probably the one who will offer you brandy before visiting the museum.

An erudite, fluent guide and kind curator. He always knows the wider story, and with him you will learn a lot of interesting things about our city.
