MARKK

In the location's words:

The museum promotes appreciation of and knowledge about cultures and arts of the world. Through exhibitions, events and research, it creates spaces for cultural encounters and critical reflection. Founded in an era of colonial power imbalances, the museum today aims to question traditional certainties and encourage global citizenship through collaboration and in an atmosphere of respect, openness and empathy.

The collections are the starting point for our work. The museum is committed to preserving, expanding and developing them, and wants to make the significance of things, their beauty and the knowledge stored in them accessible to people. It invites people to view them from a variety of perspectives that include an understanding of their context of origin, historical interdependencies and their significance in a globalized society.
