Opening Time: The DHMD in Transformation
Faced with social polarization and financial uncertainty, the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden is using the challenges of our time as a stimulus for profound change. With a long-term strategy, the museum aims to evolve from a purely curatorially-focused institution into a space that increasingly prioritises participation and diversity. To achieve this, opening processes will be structurally embedded, and sustainable alliances with the city’s community and national partners will be built. In this way, the museum is transforming into a multi-voiced forum for social dialogue – open, accessible, and future-oriented.

Commoning the Museum: City Museums for a Socially Just Society
How can museums convey a multi-voiced and inclusive historical culture amid the pressures of radical political forces? The Historisches Museum Frankfurt and Stadtmuseum Dresden are embarking on a journey to open museums as spaces for social cohesion, actively engaging audience groups that have previously been underrepresented. This raises the question: what constitutes historical culture – and how can a clear vision of it help to strengthen democratic values such as plurality and inclusion?
Collaborative learning, new forms of cooperation, and the considered use of digital technologies, including artificial intelligence, aim to create new spaces of possibility: for shared decision-making, creation, and exchange – in line with the guiding principle of “commoning the museum.”

The Project
freiSTIL – Co-Creative Work in History Museums
The Focke Museum in Bremen is using its current structural expansion as an opportunity for fundamental change: in future, the museum and a citizens’ forum are to be conceived together – as a place for shared remembrance, discussion, and creation. Within this initiative, values and models for the museum of the future are being developed on a local scale. This raises questions such as: Which perspectives are taken into account in communicating history? How does the museum engage with social controversies? How does it contribute to democratic coexistence?
Through international networking, new impulses for exhibitions and collaborations are emerging. For what the Focke Museum presents reaches far beyond Bremen: regional history here is understood as part of global history – and as a collective task for tomorrow and the day after.
