The idea of
the "Museumsbauhütte" goes back to the medieval cathedral workshop, which
combined workshop, planning office and teaching. This form of work organisation
will be used for further development of existing and building of new museums
and create a place this way where scientific, artistic and technological
knowledge is being integrated. While working pragmatically as well as
epistemologically, this workshop will investigate and reflect the social role
of museums in media society. Furthermore, new museum ideas and new forms of
mediation will be developed and tested here.
