LWL-Museum Henrichshütte Aims to Deepen Diversity Through New Program

cultural-heritage · 2026-04-08

The LWL-Museum Henrichshütte in Hattingen seeks to enhance diversity across its institution through a new exchange program. For 150 years, sparks flew from blast furnaces at this industrial site where molten iron was produced. Today, the original location serves as a forum for history, culture, and people, bringing the story of iron and steel to life. The museum team hopes the program will provide fresh input and opportunities for reflection on their work.
