The director‘s intro

Diversity ‒ the strength of museums


Museums preserve extensive collections that have been assembled over centuries under the consideration of certain aspects, ideas, conceptions and coincidences. Over the past two hundred years, professional museums and organisations emerged from the motley collections of the cabinets of art and curiosities. Their aim was to obtain and preserve the heritage of human creation for future generations. A key aspect of this historically evolved culture of collecting is its diversity, which is still reflected in most museum collections today.

The diversity of collections is one of the most important strengths of museums. Unfortunately, the municipal and state sponsors of museum institutions often do not recognise this existing diversity as an opportunity and an asset. They rather believe that they have to identify an inherent systemic problem in these institutions, which results in the call for ever new collection and museum concepts. However, museum diversity per se means cultural wealth, historical depth and the potentiality of development. It embodies the art and cultural history of a city, a region and a country. Its concept is changeability, which is dependent on the respective zeitgeist. In other words: the zeitgeist is the ever changing motor of collecting, which always opens up new perspectives.

Nowadays, however, diversity in museums also means varied exhibition activities, a broad scope of public relations and marketing efforts combined with a versatile communications programme. Consequently, museum diversity refers not only to the culture of collecting, but also to the broad-based museum activities in toto, with which visitors are approached and educated about society and cultural history. Museum diversity therefore is a key component of our cultural identity, which reflects our pluralistic society in all its facets.

Due to their historical structure, the Kunstsammlungen und Museen Augsburg are a prime example of the cultural wealth of a Bavarian community: With the Roman Museum, the Maximilian Museum, the German Baroque Gallery at the Schaezler Palace, the Cabinet of Graphic Arts, the Brechthaus, the Mozarthaus, the New Gallery at the Höhmannhaus and the H2 Center for Contemporary Art at the Glaspalast, the Kunstsammlungen deal with all aspects of Augsburg’s artistic and cultural development, depicting the cultural spectrum in its historical and contemporary entirety. As all the facilities are housed in historical buildings and structures, visitors are constantly offered new and exciting art experiences from new perspectives. Diversity pays off!

Director of Kunstsammlungen und Museen Augsburg.
