Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum Embraces Diversity Through PRISMA Initiative

The Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum / Leibniz-Institut für Maritime Geschichte in Bremerhaven has embedded diversity as enrichment within its guiding principles. Through the PRISMA initiative, the institution aims to examine its personnel structure while fostering workplace diversity. This maritime history museum connects scientific research with diverse exhibition practices about German shipping history and human-sea relationships. With over 60,000 objects, 380,000 archival items, and more than 100,000 publications, the museum offers multifaceted perspectives on past, present, and future maritime themes. As one of eight research museums within the Leibniz Association, it creates an environment accommodating different needs and abilities. The museum's approach extends beyond programming and audiences to actively promote personnel diversity.
