Museum Schloss Moyland: Alexander von Keyserlingk brings a breath of fresh air
New head of administration brings fresh wind to the Museum Schloss Moyland
Museum Schloss Moyland faces major changes: With the appointment of Alexander von Keyserlingk as a new administrative director, not only a key position in management is filled, but also the hope of improving public funds for the urgently needed new depot. This is the only way to again offer large -scale exhibitions in the Hall of Vorburg.
The new director at a glance
Alexander von Keyserlingk, who comes from Hamburg and grew up in Berlin, brings extensive experience in the management of institutions. Before his appointment, he was managing director of Museumshop GmbH Weimar and had previously built up a museum service company with 150 employees at the Weimar Klassik Stiftung. His expertise extends through retail, economic and financial planning as well as investments. Keyserlingk will start his new position on October 16 and hopes to make a positive development for the museum.
urgent need for a new depot
A central concern of the museum management under the director Antje-Britt Mählmann is the construction of a new depot. There is already progress, as the preparations for an application for federal funding in the amount of 3.7 million euros show. The project could soon be implemented with a coalition of several political factions, including support from members of the Bundestag. The first positive news came in the form of a permit of 343,000 euros for the renovation of the castle facade.
political support for the museum projects
Recently, the museum received a special visit from Berlin. Otto Fricke from the FDP and Stefan Rouenhoff from the CDU had got an idea of the development plans on site. They agreed that the construction of a modern depot not only serves to adequately store works of art, but also enables the public to see more international works of art. A show depot is also intended that enables works of art to show and store works of art at the same time.
long-term effects on the art and cultural scene
The decision for the new depot is of long-term importance for the art and cultural landscape of the district of Kleve. Rouenhoff emphasizes that this project would be another milestone for the foundation and the visibility of significant artistic work could increase. Such a concept, which also gives insights into the collection, has already found great recognition in other cities, such as the Ruhrmuseum at the Zeche Zollverein or the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum.
with Alexander von Keyserlingk at the top and a clear plan to improve the infrastructure, the Museum Schloss Moyland invites you to look forward to the upcoming developments. Both the art scene and political support will have a decisive impact on the future of the museum and its offers.
