List of museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Ozeaneum Stralsund

The list of museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania includes museums , permanent exhibitions and art halls in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . Sales-oriented galleries and exhibition venues that exclusively host temporary exhibitions are not taken into account . Most of the institutions are members of the Museum Association in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, to which over 150 institutions belong. The board of directors of the museum association has proposed a catalog of criteria as a basis for museum certification.

Overview

The most important types of museums are arts , crafts , natural history , technology , transport , agriculture , history and archeology - as well as city and local museums . Some local history museums are dedicated to individual aspects of folklore and everyday culture , for example as a school or crib museum. Museums that deal with the life and work of individuals are mostly art or literature museums . Special features of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are the museum harbors and the fishing museums . The amber and chalk museums, among others, deal with the geological and natural history peculiarities of the country. In addition to the museum harbors, the open-air museums include local and agricultural museums as well as archaeological excavation sites of Slavic settlements . There are multiple overlaps between the museum types, so almost all city and local museums are also historical museums, and the agricultural museums are usually also local museums.

The number of outstanding museums in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is relatively small compared to other federal states. For tourism in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , they play a subordinate role compared to the nature of the country and the brick Gothic. Some of the most popular museums relate to nature. The German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund, which counted over a million visitors in 2008, compared to 410,000 in 2007, is a crowd puller. This increase goes back to the opening of the Ozeaneum in 2008. Overall, the number of visitors to the museums of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2008 was estimated at around three million. The art collections, palaces and gardens in Schwerin, Ludwigslust and Güstrow, which are combined in the Schwerin State Museum, recorded around 280,000 visitors, around twelve percent fewer guests than in 2007. The most popular museums also included the Peenemünde Historical-Technical Information Center with around 220,000 and the Müritzeum only reopened in 2007 with 215,000 visitors.

In the Blue Book of the Federal Government which were Mecklenburg art collections, castles and gardens , with the Schwerin Castle , the Güstrow Castle and the Ludwigslust Castle and the German Oceanographic Museum in Stralsund as "cultural beacons of Germany" was added. The Ernst-Barlach-Museum in Güstrow, the Otto-Lilienthal-Museum in Anklam, the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Museum in Kloster (Hiddensee), the Heinrich-Schliemann-Museum in Ankershagen as well as the Hans-Fallada-Haus in Carwitz were named " cultural memorial sites of particular national importance ”. The State Museum Schwerin and the German Marine Museum are members of the Conference of National Cultural Institutions . The museums sponsored by the State of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are also important, in particular the Archaeological Open-Air Museum in Groß Raden and the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald.

The sponsors of the museums are the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (for example through the State Office for Culture and Monument Preservation ), the municipalities, districts, universities, foundations or museum associations , and occasionally private individuals. Foundations and associations are not necessarily private; the state, municipalities or the federal government are often involved. The country experienced a wave of mostly smaller local museums founded in the 1990s after the political change in 1989.
