About the museum
The museum family
The Junges Museum Frankfurt returning to the Historisches Museum Frankfurt at the Römer by the end of 2017, shows interactive exhibitions created especially for young people aged 6 to 14. The Caricatura Museum in the Leinwandhaus and the Porzellan Museum in the Kronberger Haus in Höchst focus on certain special fields and offer their visitors individual exhibitions and events.
The guiding principle of the museum
The Historisches Museum Frankfurt has transformed itself from a museum of history to the city museum of Frankfurt. Its new exhibition house opened in 2017, with permanent exhibitions:Frankfurt Now! and Frankfurt Then?, together with the new entrance building and its introductory exhibitions Staufer Port and The Snowglobe. It’s now a place of information, reflection and discussion about Frankfurt, offering different explanations and background on the city’s history. As a forum for the important topics of urban society, it contributes to the understanding of the present and future of the city. The collections, exhibitions and events at the museum react to the present day just as much as they ask questions about the future. The museum encourages participation, takes its visitors’ wealth of experience and knowledge seriously and integrates it into its collections. The new Historisches Museum Frankfurt reaches out to all inhabitants of, and visitors to, the small metropolis on the Main. It is aimed specifically at the many new citizens who come from different cultures around the world and the international guests in the trade-fair city and transport hub of Frankfurt.
Since long ago Frankfurt is the German city with the highest proportion of inhabitants with a multicultural biography. The museum aims to mirror this formative characteristic of the city in its program, its collections as well as in its staff. A continuous collaboration with protagonists of this new city society is a strategic element of this commitment. The Cultural Foundation fo the Federal Republic of Germany suppoerts the museum on this way (360 Grad - Fonds für Kulturen der neuen Stadtgesellschaft).
The Historisches Museum Frankfurt has its origins in the collections of the city and its inhabitants dating as far back as the 16th century. Founded in 1877-1878 through civic initiatives, it is the oldest museum in Frankfurt supported by the municipality. Since then, its job has been to preserve, research and mediate objects – and to transmit an image of this trade-fair city. Today, it has some of the most extensive collections on cultural and art history of the city and region. The last comprehensive redesign of the museum took place in 1972/1975. With its guiding mottos “A place for learning, not a shrine to the muses!” and “Culture for everyone”, the Historisches Museum Frankfurt encouraged a place for constant learning and opened up the institution of the museum to all levels of society. Questions regarding social history became the new guiding principle for substantive work. 40 years later, the Historisches Museum Frankfurt has been redesigned once again. As was the case in 1972, a conversion and new construction was the trigger. The historical buildings were treated as listed buildings for the first time in 2008-2012, with the Staufer Saalhof being the oldest standing building in the city and the Rententurm (Toll Tower) stemming from the fortification of the city in the Late Middle Ages. The new buildings create a distinct museum architecture, whose modern buildings are sensitively positioned within the complex urban construction at the Römerberg square. A new museum square (Museumsplatz) ties in with the structures of the Old Town which was destroyed in 1944. Construction was completed in 2017, the opening took place in October 2017.
