The research project “Green Museum and Climate-Friendly Culture. Environmental Management of Climate-Related Risks in Museums” aims to prepare museums in Germany for climate change and the associated climate adaptation through effective measures. For this purpose, we collect national and international best practice examples that have already made their way to the “Green Museum”. The aim is to develop resource-saving strategies and concepts for the preventive conservation, safeguarding and preservation as well as the care of nationally valuable cultural heritage.

One central aspect of the project is a questionnaire in which museums can share their experiences in the area of climate protection. By this means, they can make an important contribution to the project. The results of the questionnaire will provide information about the general overview of the status quo of the environment, sustainability and climate protection in museums.

The evaluation of the questionnaire and the analysis of the best practice examples are finally summarised in a guideline on green museums.
