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.
