Talkshop Museum

What will the museum of the future look like?

The Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung is being renovated and expanded with a new museum building. In the Talkshop Museum series, we explore questions in connection with our future museum and discuss them with guests and audiences at the temporary bauhaus-archiv as live events. Which role does the socio-cultural outdoor space play in cultural institutions' work? How do artists work with collections and archives? How does an archive become open, vivid and accessible? What do we expect museum conservators to do more than simply preserve our cultural heritage?

At four scheduled events, we will invite guests with practical museum experience and experts from the areas of education, art and design to the temporary bauhaus-archiv to “talk shop” and discuss four different topics of museum practice. Podcasts of the Talkshop Museum are available on our Soundcloud channel (in German).

Read our interview with Tullia Tarsia in Curia on the concept for the Talkshop Museum on bauhaus stories, the online magazine by bauhaus.de.
