Protecting cultural heritage for future generations is a primary task that requires professional collaboration. Through archaeological excavations, acquisitions, proper storage and responsible exhibitions, we shall prevent damage and destruction of important cultural heritage. Through the combined work of the Museum’s research activities, collections management and interpretation, the relevance of our collections to society will become clear.
Through innovative methodology and technology, the Museum will provide an attractive infrastructure for research in the field of cultural heritage. A new Cultural Environment Act is being drafted; the proposed law contains new responsibilities and an expanded portfolio of tasks with significant implications for staffing and storage requirements. A clarification of the Museum’s future storage needs must take this into account during the current strategy period.
Strategic goals 2026-28:
- KHM will actively contribute to the development of research infrastructure and the accessibility of data resources.
- KHM will manage the collections sustainably and maintain a long-term perspective on the museum’s acquisition policy.
- KHM will store and exhibit its collections in a way that protects them for future generations.
- KHM will be a cultural curator at the intersection of tradition and innovation based on a holistic understanding of research, management and interpretation.
