Since its founding in 1909, citizens have been involved in building this world-class sculpture collection. The result is an institution with holdings of over 3,000 works that can retrace the history of sculpture back more than 5,000 years. It has been thanks solely to support from private individuals and foundations that numerous scholarly research ventures and widely noted conservation projects have been realized, further reinforcing the museum’s reputation in expert circles.

The Liebieghaus is and has always been a place of encounter. The museum-education offers, which are supported by a large number of sponsors, are geared to the interests of a wide range of target groups and enhance the museum visit with workshops, various types of guided tours and lecture series, as well as a programme accompanying every one of our special exhibitions.

The special exhibitions, in which prominent works from our collection enter into dialogue with superb loans from institutions of international renown, constitute one of our museum’s chief focusses. Two special exhibitions per year present the results of the scholarly work conducted at the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung and strengthen its excellent name in the German museum world—as an exemplary location for the well-founded and innovative exploration of a wide range of themes.

Several years ago, in 2008, the Liebieghaus reopened its doors to the public again following comprehensive renovations that included the new presentation of the entire collection, a modern lighting system and colour scheme, but also the creation of the Studioli on the attic floor. These measures would not have been possible without our museum’s partners, sponsors and patrons, who not only guarantee our ongoing museological activities but are also prepared to help us finance special projects of the kind described.

A number of prestigious companies and foundations come to our aid as strong partners who support the museum work, patrons who accompany future-oriented educational projects, and sponsors who enable us to stage exhibitions of great public appeal and international acclaim.

Join the circle

The Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung is a shining example of the fact that cultural institutions can only endure and develop if people believe in and support them. Year after year, private dedication of many different kinds helps the museum offer convincing education and mediation initiatives, achieve its research mission, and design the museum programme in such a way that it moves people, sparks their enthusiasm, and broadens their horizons. The forms of possible support are as diverse as the people who offer it: from donations—small or large, one-time or regular—to gifts, endowments and bequests.
