About us

Set within a spacious park are four historic buildings, the modern main building, and the visible storage facility. Together, they create a fascinating interplay between the permanent collections on urban history and general cultural history. Special exhibitions regularly update this programme, focusing on themes such as urban history, arts and crafts and design, photography, and art.

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.
