Current projects
The Mylau Castle Museum's diverse collection means that there are always fascinating opportunities to ask questions and explore the objects and their history. In addition, there are always projects for the interest of tourists, research and business.
In recent years, various temporary projects on a wide range of topics have already been carried out. Here you will find the projects currently being worked on - projects that have already been completed can be found in the archive.
In the event of a fire, fast and effective fire protection for museum objects plays a particularly important role.
Das Projekt „FrauenWegeVogtland“ soll innerhalb des Projektzeitraumes verschiedene Workshops speziell für Frauen im Vogtland und angrenzenden Regionen anbieten.
The overall aim of the "preserve4future" project is to develop an innovative concept for the practical training of restorers and monument conservators.
For the overall project "Innovative starch-based protection of historical metal structures and metal building components (StarkMetall)", the requirements for coatings and decoatings for metal objects are being determined, tested in practice and evaluated.
Provenance and history of the ethnological collection in Mylau/Reichenbach
The two natural history associations in the towns of Mylau and Reichenbach started to create extensive ethnological collections at the end of the 19th century. The origin of a significant portion of these cultural artefacts dates back to the former German colonies in Africa and Oceania.
Im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert begannen die beiden Naturkundevereine der Städte Mylau und Reichenbach umfangreiche ethnologische Sammlungen anzulegen. Die Herkunft eines großen Teils dieser Kulturgüter liegt in den ehemaligen deutschen Kolonien in Afrika und Ozeanien.
