A Place of Culture
In times of change, many people seek orientation and belonging. Culture can provide exactly that: It creates spaces where diversity grows into connection, experiences turn into insights, and complexity becomes compact. In the Future Center, culture is therefore not an accessory – it is the heartbeat. It makes transformation tangible.
Even though the planned permanent exhibitions on societal change are intended to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors annually – the Future Center is not about collecting objects, but about understanding experiences. About questions like: What do the upheavals after 1990 mean for our lives today? What can we learn from this – for tomorrow? Art, music, theater, literature, film, and design help to find answers – or to ask new questions.
The cultural formats of the Future Center – exhibitions, performances, concerts, conversations – make transformation experienceable. They touch, open perspectives, connect biographies, and create space for shared memories and new ideas.
The Future Center will be a place of curiosity, openness, and inspiration
The Future Center develops and curates its cultural programs independently. It doesn’t simply show what was – it tells why it still matters to us today. Instead of nostalgic retrospection, the focus is on conversation: between generations, between East and West, between local memory and European future.
Culture in the Future Center is aimed at everyone – but especially at young people. The center wants to be a vibrant place of learning that connects schools, universities, and civil society. In addition to the large and central permanent exhibition, decentralized offerings are created: mobile formats, traveling exhibitions, local cultural events – in Halle and beyond.
The Future Center will be a place of curiosity, openness, and inspiration. Art and culture help to negotiate the big questions of our time. Because those who want to understand the future must be ready to listen. To see. To feel. And to tell.
