The new Voß un Haas Calendar 2027 will be presented, adding a literary accent with a regional profile to the program.

The museum as a place of aesthetic experience

The State Museum Schwerin provides the ideal setting: the collection spans from the Old Master paintings to modern art, while the modernized architecture reimagines light, space, and artwork contemplation. Especially on a day like this, it becomes clear how strongly museum, language, and identity intertwine. Visitors experience not just an event, but a concentrated form of cultural participation.

Guided tours in newly designed rooms

Particularly appealing are the two Low German guided tours that deepen the museum experience. They lead through the newly designed rooms, highlighting how curation, presentation, and mediation shape the viewing experience. This creates a dialogue between image, word, and memory, which resonates beyond the moment of visit.
