Research
Since the creation of the Curt-Engelhorn-Stiftung in 2001, the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen have established themselves as a center of scholarly excellence in the realm of national and international research. The opening of the Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum Archäometrie (CEZA) and the establishment of the Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum für Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte (Curt Engelhorn Art and Cultural History Center) have been instrumental to this. The Curt-Engelhorn-Zentrum für Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte’s research units and projects deepen the foci of the rem’s individual collections and tie them in with international scholarship. The Forschungsstelle Geschichte und Kulturelles Erbe (History and Cultural Heritage Research Unit) (FGKE) is geared toward the study of cultural and transcultural processes.

Aims + Management Structure
The Reiss-Engelhorn-Museen (rem) have established themselves in recent years as an internationally operating complex of museums, an outstanding venue for exhibitions and a major center of research. The museum world is subject to constant change too and adopting new ideas: Digitalization, diversity, accessibility and social participation are as pertinent to museums as provenance research and the reappraisal of collections from colonies. The rem are actively tackling the tasks and challenges awaiting the treasuries of our cultural heritage, thus making an important sociopolitical contribution. The special construct of the rem museum group with its diverse collections and research institutions provides unique conditions for this.
