A joint project with a Berlin architecture firm that stopped for the first time on Tuesday at the weekly market in Ulm Weststadt. Passers -by had the opportunity to share their ideas and visions for the museum of the future for two hours. These impulses are not only used for program planning, but also flow into the design of the new museum.

The museum wants to create a space that brings people of all ages and different cultural and social backgrounds together. Interactive exhibitions, diverse educational offers and creative hands-on formats are planned. The project is flanked by the mobile information and creative stand "Museum from the wheelbarrow", which is also active and conducts information events at Wilhelmsburg and at weekly markets. As a result, the museum remains visible and accessible during the closure.

The comprehensive renovation and renovation work started in September 2023 and will gradually be completed by 2029. A total of four out of seven buildings of the museum ensemble are renewed.

The role of the museums as "third places"

In the context of these developments, the upcoming event "Dialogue in the Museum" is also pointed out, which takes place on November 7, 2023. In this 21st edition of the series, the role of museums in inner -city rooms is discussed as a "third place". In view of the increasingly urgent department store death, it is more important than ever to fill inner -city areas with new life. Museums could offer an attractive alternative here that create low -threshold communication rooms and reduce entrepreneurs.

With prominent panel participants such as Sabine Philipp, director of the Sam - City Museum on the market, and Peter Cachola Schmal, director of the German Architecture Museum, the event will serve to discuss the needs of society with regard to urban areas and the function of museums. Such conversations are essential to further develop the museum landscape and make fit for the future.

The conversion of the Ulm Museum and the initiatives, such as the wishes, show that Ulm is on the best way not only to become a place of art and culture, but also a lively platform for social interaction. This could help to preserve the city as a place worth living in times of change.
