An important step in the modernization of the Museum der Arbeit began in January 2022 with the conversion of the Torhaus. In the renovated rooms, educational workshops were created on the newly created upper floor and the Zukunftswerkstatt on the first floor.
The concept of the Zukunftswerkstatt is based on the Museums der Arbeit guiding principle, which uses Hamburg as an example to document the changes in the world of work and the associated effects on people. In addition, the Museum der Arbeit is a platform for current social and political discussions. It aims to gain knowledge about the past in order to understand the complexity of the present and shape the future. It sees exhibitions as spaces for communication and aims to encourage discussion and reflection. It takes a critical look at current social issues and creates spaces for thought.
The design by studio lose, which was selected in a competition and has now been realized, is a workshop for working together on the future. Various modules are based on classic workshop trolleys and at the same time are tools in their own right, enabling a variety of accessible exhibition, workshop and event formats that can be rearranged again and again.
