Leibniz Association

The Deutsches Museum as part of the Leibniz Association

The Deutsches Museum is one of the eight research museums of the Leibniz Association.

The research museums of the Leibniz Association are research institutions on the history of the earth and biodiversity, on the history of culture and technology with a clear social mandate.

The Leibniz Association

The Leibniz Association brings together 97 independent research institutions. Its focus ranges from the natural, engineering and environmental sciences to economics, spatial and social sciences and the humanities. Leibniz Institutes are dedicated to socially, economically and ecologically relevant issues. They conduct knowledge- and application-oriented research, also in the overarching Leibniz research networks. They are or maintain scientific infrastructures and offer research-based services. The Leibniz Association focuses on knowledge transfer, especially with the Leibniz Research Museums.

Leibniz Research Museums

The Leibniz Association's eight research museums collect, research and communicate. Their collection archives comprise well over 100 million objects and form the foundation for research into the history of the earth and biodiversity, the history of culture and technology and the preservation of scientific and cultural heritage. With their research-based permanent and special exhibitions at 12 locations in Germany, the museums reach millions of people every year and thus make an important contribution to the transfer of knowledge.
