Local curator Michael Müller wants to make the museum in Taufkirchen attractive to visitors again.
Not all items can stay.
Taufkirchen – Local curator Michael Müller has undertaken a new major project for the museum at Wolfsschneiderhof in Taufkirchen: This year he wants to clear out the museum's holdings.
This also includes the search for a warehouse.
The local council approved the home caretaker's plan at the most recent meeting.
Predecessor Ernst Kistler acquired the Wolfsschneiderhof in 1983 in order to set up a local museum there.
He collected household and agricultural items for many years.
Today the museum contains around 1,100 items, all of which are owned by the municipality of Taufkirchen.
“After 38 years, it’s time to think about the future of the museum,” says local curator Müller.
He wants to preserve Kistler's collection and make the museum attractive to visitors.
To do this, Müller will look through the inventory and check the value of the items based on a catalog of criteria.
“The selection in the museum is overwhelming,” says Müller.
There will be a special exhibition every year
Selected items will be permanently placed in the two display rooms.
The rest will be placed in a warehouse.
Once a year, Müller plans a special exhibition with items from the warehouse.
Müller admits that the community will have to get rid of things.
“We can’t keep everything,” he says.
“We will probably dispose of some things because almost all museums have space problems.” The local council appreciates the work of the local curator.
“We all know how much passion you put into looking after the local museum,” says Mayor Ullrich Sander (independent).
He is assured of the support of the local council.
Local history museum as a new meeting place
Müller will look through the objects by the middle of the year.
Then he knows approximately how big the warehouse needs to be.
In addition to clearing out, Müller is thinking about using digital media.
Children could discover the history of Taufkirchen interactively.
“The new Wolfsschneiderhof should impress all Taufkirchen residents,” says Müller.
“The museum will be a new meeting place.”
