Schiller National Museum
The Schiller National Museum (SNM) opened its doors in 1903 and is the nucleus of the German Literature Archive – a prominently visible ›Pantheon of German literature‹ in a late baroque style. The Schiller National Museum was honored at the 2011 European Museum Award for its »poetic and aesthetic quality«, and its »courageous approach to engage large and broad audiences by consciously choosing to be an object orientated museum«. The museum concept is currently under revision so that we can display the objects from the archive in an innovative and economical way in daylight on the one hand and, on the other, explore Schiller's ideas on aesthetics: What can the aesthetic do? Why is the human being only completely human when he plays? How does beauty set us free?
The Schiller National Museum is expected to be closed until spring 2023 for exhibition renovations. The ›four Swabinas‹ of the permanent exhibition - Schiller, Hölderlin, Kerner and Mörike - along with Luise Duttenhofer’s silhouettes have moved to the Literature Museum of the Modern.
