Altenburg (dpa / th) - The digitization of the collections of the Lindenau Museum Altenburg is at the top of the list of the house's plans for the coming years.
The entire inventory should be made available both for scientific research and for access by interested laypeople, said museum director Roland Krischke on Tuesday.
It will also be about making the offer barrier-free and playful and didactic for children, for example.
According to Krischke, a further focus should serve to expand research into the origin of cultural goods.
The Altenburgers also want to look at objects that were relocated to one another in GDR museums during the GDR era.
The house intends to keep research on Jewish cultural property in focus.
The plans are made possible by the federal government's commitment to provide the Lindenau Museum with up to two million euros a year for projects until 2027.
The museum director explained that the money should also be used to strengthen cultural education.
In addition to the already well-known fine arts studio, a wood workshop and a media studio are to be built.
The museum organizers also want to develop a mother-and-child program to introduce little girls and boys to art at an early stage.

The main building of the museum is currently being extensively renovated.
Krischke had originally hoped to reopen the house to the public on the 175th anniversary of its opening in 1848.
However, this will not hold up, he admitted.
The Lindenau Museum has currently moved into a temporary home in which only smaller parts of the collection can be shown.
