Brothers Grimm Cultural Centre

Interactive experience exhibition

For the city of Hanau, we developed as a partner of the project development company HBB an experience-oriented exhibition in which the most famous sons of the city – the Brothers Grimm – take centre stage.

The dream world of the Brothers Grimm

In the listed building on the centrally located Schlossplatz – currently the location of the city library – a Brüder Grimm Cultural Centre will be built, which will appeal to a broad, international audience with a cross-generational concept and bring the Grimms’ imagination to life.

The search for vocabulary

The visitors dive into the dream world of the Brothers Grimm, where they experience adventures to fairy tales, politics, history and language – and experience at the end how they carry the “vocabulary” in themselves.

Connecting diversity

In close consultation with the Brothers Grimm Expert Commission and in cooperation with representatives of the local and regional educational landscape, we have developed a concept which demonstrates the diversity of the topics and the variety of the Brothers Grimm. The public was also actively involved in the conception process.
