• cooperation with local, national and international institutions in the field of art and culture

• joint project of the TU Dresden, the German Hygiene Museum Dresden, the Military History Museum of the German Armed Forces, the Saxon State and University Library Dresden, and the Dresden State Art Collections

The common goal is to discuss current questions about the self-image and future orientation of collection and exhibition institutions with the experts of the participating houses as well as with high-ranking speakers. On that score, fundamental theoretical concepts are as important as concrete practical approaches of action.
