Ongoing change
After comprehensive renovation, the Museum der Kulturen opened to the public again in September 2011. Between reopening and the end of 2012 the museum put on various exhibitions, making full use of the four exhibition floors. These included eight special shows, one permanent exhibition and two cooperation projects. The enhanced exhibition cadence allows us to show an increasing number of artefacts held in our rich collections.
