We call our museum education programme Create, because every participant can make something themselves.
Every visitor brings an entire world of their own into the museum, and with it one of innumerable ways of looking at what is on display here. Every person sees and feels differently and something different. Our education programmes accordingly offer our visitors opportunities to enter into dialogue with us about what they have seen and experienced here: dialogue about knowledge and non-knowledge, questions and possible answers, seeing and non-seeing. One question is always at the fore: what do the objects have to do with me? When we explore the museum with this question in mind, we together discover the aspects that connect us with the exhibition themes and those themes with our everyday worlds.
Comprehensive information about our educational events and activities in English and other foreign languages is available.
Please feel free to contact us.

How do we imagine museums in the future? What happens when people don’t go to the museum, but the museum comes to the people instead—with a mobile loom that symbolizes connection, communal creativity, and participation?
From February to May 2026, raumlaborberlin’s LOOMCYCLE will travel through Frankfurt’s neighborhoods. It will stop at places and events where people come together and new connections are formed. In community centers, marketplaces, and neighborhood festivals, we invite local actors and partner institutions to participate—to weave, engage in conversation, and experience design as a collaborative, democratic process.
LOOMCYCLE is a project of the Berlin based collective raumlaborberlin and part of the accompanying program to the exhibition Wool. Silk. Resistance. as well as part of the program of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 at the Museum Angewandte Kunst.

We want to see, feel and wear democracy.
Together with students, Prof. Ilona Kötter, Markus Maas, and Klaus Harnack develop jacket concepts that make democratic negotiation processes visible and reference the Frankfurt Kitchen. From multiple designs, a “consensus jacket” emerges, illustrating what a group can agree on; the ongoing process through 2027 aims to spark conversations about democracy in everyday life.
Registration from mid-April.
