It is called a citizens' initiative and was originally one: The Museum Initiative (MI) bears its history in its name. And with pride, because without the commitment of Nuremberg's citizens, the Neues Museum would probably never have existed. The Association of Friends and Sponsors of the Neues Museum continues to support the work of the museum on Klarissenplatz to this day.

The association sees collecting art as its most important task. Since its foundation in 1987, around 200 works have been acquired. The 25th anniversary of the Neues Museum is the occasion for an exhibition in the façade rooms, which highlights the collecting activities of the MI using selected examples.

Using your smartphone or tablet, you can access a multimedia guide that provides exciting and varied background information on the museum initiative, the works on display and the artists. On site at the museum or from the comfort of your own home.

In cooperation with the museum initiative Freunde und Förderer des Neuen Museums e. V.
