A first look at the new Gutenberg Museum: Presentation of the scenography concept
A new milestone on the road to the future Gutenberg Museum has been reached: the scenography concept for the new building has been presented—and it leaves us wanting more. The design concept, developed by the Cologne-based agency "facts and fiction," combines the building's unique architecture with a lively, interactive museum world. Folded wall structures, immersive spatial experiences, and a variety of interactive stations will bring Gutenberg's story to life in surprising and playful ways. During the presentation of the concept on November 12, 2025, at a press conference and again at the public information event on November 18, 2025, it became clear how clearly the vision for the new museum is taking shape: a modern place that combines tradition and innovation. This marks another step toward the future of the Gutenberg Museum.
