Erfurt (dpa / th) - The Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture is funding the operation of the German Horticultural Museum in Erfurt with almost two million euros this year and next.
The museum made the past, present and future of horticulture tangible for all target and age groups, the ministry announced on Monday.
The money will flow in addition to the up to around 3.6 million euros with which the horticultural museum could be renovated and the permanent exhibition updated and modernized.
In addition to the usual general operating expenses, the 1.73 million euros now made available to the German Horticultural Museum Foundation are planned for measures in preparation for the Federal Horticultural Show 2021 (Buga) in Erfurt.
