A winning project in the Nature Park.2024 competition
The Ministry for the Environment, Agriculture, Nature Conservation and Consumer Protection launches the "Nature Park.North Rhine-Westphalia" funding competition every three years. After receiving a positive funding decision, the Bergisches Land Nature Park will implement the project "Heimatmuseum 2.0" from 2022 to 2024.
Project background
Local history museums provide sustainable offers for history, culture, local recreation and partly also for nature tourism. It is precisely through the diversity of the offerings of these museums that the special features of the Bergisches Land become clear. Nevertheless, many of the museums, which are often run on a voluntary basis, have problems with recruiting new staff, financing, developing their offerings and visibility in the region.
With the project "local museums 2.0" and a total volume of € 170,000, the Bergisches Land Nature Park would like to support the local museums in precisely these areas, contribute to their development and expand and accompany the emerging network. This is the only way to preserve and pass on valuable knowledge about the special features of the culture and the landscape. The project is structured in the following building blocks.
The project is supported by various regional partners, such as the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (Rhineland Regional Association) or the cultural officers of the districts, who have recognised the importance of this project.
The project schedule at a glance
Identify local museums and associations with the help of partners and the digital tourist database.
Project presentation on 21.11.2022 at :metabolon. 23 interested people from 12 different museums, associations and institutions were informed about the project.
Promote regular exchange meetings, both face-to-face and digital.
In a subsequent inventory, the focal points and special features of the participating local history museums and their structures are worked out and taken into account in the course of the project.
A newly developed "museum suitcase", which can be used in schools and other institutions, is intended to expand the museums' offer.
Clever advertising measures will draw attention to the museums and what they have to offer and help to attract young people.
On a planned day of museums in the nature park, the participating museums can present themselves with their offers.
