About the
Event

In Cologne, there are around fifty, in part, internationally important museums and museum-related institutions on almost every field of knowledge. What is characteristic of these museums and institutions is that, apart from a few exceptions, they owe their existence to citizens’ initiatives because feudal traditions were completely absent in the former free imperial and Hanseatic city. A special feature of Cologne’s museum landscape is the fact that most of the buildings are located in close proximity in the city centre and appear here in the context of the remnants of the 2,000-year-old city that was nearly completely destroyed during the Second World War. The expedition will focus specifically on this aspect – the various interconnections between museum- and cityscape – and analyse it with regard to its impacts and synergistic effects. Side trips are also planned into the city’s history and some of Cologne’s numerous churches.
