Private and public sponsors as well as the cultural association Haus im Park with an advisory board support the project. Today (2014) the KulturAmbulanz consists of the museum, the house in the park and the gallery in the park . Cooperation partners are the Bremen University of the Arts (HfK), the Bremen City Culture Association , the Forum for Older People (FÄM), the Swiss Quarter and Living in Neighborhood projects (WIN) and the Osterholz advisory board . Together with the KulturAmbulanz and the Haus im Park cultural association, the Osterholz advisory board organizes regular art and photo competitions.
The museum is part of the Bremen museums working group for everyday history . They present extraordinary facets of everyday and cultural history in joint exhibitions. The working group includes six facilities: Old pumping station , Bremen Radio Museum , Cathedral Museum , Harbor Museum , Culture ambulance and school museum .
The projects of the KulturAmbulanz should combine important social concerns in the areas of health, education and culture. Along with exhibitions in the gallery and the museum, events take place regularly in the border area between art and science. The events are also integrated into thematic annual projects.
Hospital museum
The Hospital Museum has been committed to documenting the history of psychiatry and promoting public discourse on National Socialist health policy and medical crimes since 1989. In 1995, relatives of victims of psychiatry who had come into contact with the museum on their own initiative were included in the research on euthanasia under National Socialism in Bremen.
The permanent exhibition presents the Bremen history of psychiatry . "What's crazy? How do we deal with illness? ”- questions that the exhibition takes up. Historical treatment devices, therapy and treatment forms as well as interactive stations and hearing islands and psychiatry under National Socialism are shown. Temporary exhibitions on medicine and art in the present and history complete the spectrum. Conversations with contemporary witnesses with former carers, nurses, doctors and employees take place with students of the health professions. The museum continues to collect materials such as letters, photos, documents and utensils that citizens give them.
The exhibition rooms of the hospital museum are located in a listed building of the old psychiatric institution St.-Jürgen-Asyl, built as a Hofmeierhaus with a stable . "Hofmeierhäuser" are not uncommon in Bremen. The manager of the institution's own estate lived in the building on the clinic premises.
The Hospital Museum is the only museum in Bremen to have been awarded the 2020–2026 seal of approval by the Museum Association for Lower Saxony and Bremen in 2020 as a museum .
Gallery in the park
The Galerie im Park, in the same building as the Hospital Museum, is an exhibition space for presentations and links between the topics of health, education and culture. Historical and contemporary art and cultural history are presented under the terms disease and health .
