Restored Schiller Museum in Germany unveiled
Published: 20-Nov-2009
The Schiller National Museum in Germany, unveiled following a restoration by UK-based David Chipperfield Architects, features renovated exhibition spaces.
The museum was reopened on November 10, 2009, the 250th anniversary of Friedrich Schiller’s birthday. Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright.
The interior restoration, completed by David Chipperfield, included the exhibition rooms on the main floor as well as the rooms at the lower level. After three years of planning and construction, the 1903-built museum now presents a new permanent exhibition of literature, belonging to the 18th and 19th centuries, in 700 exhibits over nine rooms and 450 square meters.
Free from war damage and in continuous use since its completion, the historic material is conserved in several main parts of the building. The attic was rebuilt several years earlier during the restoration of the roof, the façade and the windows.
The Schiller National Museum forms an ensemble of buildings situated on the hills overlooking the Neckar Valley, together with the German Literature Archive, built in the 1970s, and the Museum of Modern Literature, completed by David Chipperfield Architects in 2006.
