#18 E – Engagement (Commitment)

00:48

A museum is attractive, lively and open to the future when many people are prepared to commit themselves to it. The Von der Heydt-Museum is a good example.
The fact that the Wuppertal Museum exists at all is due to committed citizens who joined together to found the Elberfeld Museumsverein. To the present day, the Kunst- und Museumsverein is an important base for daily work. It is one of the largest associations in the city.
In addition, the Von der Heydt-Museum is generously supported by non-profit-making foundations and companies, many of which are located in Wuppertal.
Particularly for building up and extending the collection, private commitment plays a crucial role. Many works come to the museum through donations and bequests.
