What will the City Museum Regensburg of tomorrow look like?

On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the panel discussion City Museum Regensburg – The New Concept in Dialogue invites us to collectively consider the future direction of the museum. The focus is on the content and conceptual development, the role of the museum as a place of city history, as well as its significance for cultural exchange and societal engagement.

Museum as a Living Place of City History

The event provides insight into contemporary museum work and the question of how city history can be conveyed in the future. Historical work analysis is intertwined with curatorial reflection: The City Museum appears not only as a place of preservation but also as a public space for memory, discussion, and cultural education.

Dialogue with Professionals from Museum, Science, and Culture

After a welcome speech by cultural officer Wolfgang Dersch, Dr. Sebastian Karnatz, head of the municipal museums of Regensburg, will give a brief insight into the exhibition concept. Subsequently, experts from museums, academia, and culture will discuss central aspects of the realignment and contemporary museum work.

Among the panelists are Dr. Birgit Angerer, Joachim Buck, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Löffler, and Dr. Markus Speidel. The evening will be moderated by Dr. Carsten Lenk, managing director of the Protestant Educational Institute Regensburg. The different perspectives promise a multifaceted exchange about collection, presentation, communication, and social responsibility.

An Evening for Interested Citizens

The event is aimed at everyone interested in Regensburg's city history, museum conception, and cultural participation. Visitors will gain insights into the current planning status and can actively engage in the dialogue. This creates an artistic experience in a broader sense: an aesthetic experience of reflecting on spaces, objects, history, and the future of the museum.

Conclusion: Experience the City Museum in Development

The new concept of the City Museum Regensburg combines historical responsibility with new forms of presentation and communication. Those who wish to understand how a museum tells its city and what tasks it can take on in the future will experience an informative and inspiring evening at the Alumneum. Admission is free, and registration is not required.
