As part of Laufende Arbeiten. Der Sammlung ihren Platz geben

Even though the project “Laufende Arbeiten. Der Sammlung ihren Platz geben” is now coming to an end, the team at the Kunsthalle and the Kunstmuseum are continuing their work: Preserving and scientifically researching the collection of the Kunstverein Bremerhaven von 1886 e.V. remains a constant core task. The project made the work with and about the collection and the structures of museum work more transparent, which previously mostly took place behind closed doors.

Why are collections and the question of what, how and why is and was collected increasingly coming into the public spotlight these days? And is it the task of museums to address these considerations and to question and make accessible their own policies and structures in the form of events, for example? But also very specifically: What did you as a visitor and we as a team take away and how has the view of collections in general, but also of the Kunstverein’s collection, changed? Together we would like to address these questions and review the various program items surrounding the project.
