Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Liebieghaus
Surrounded by one of Frankfurt’s most beautiful gardens, the Liebieghaus is home to a superb collection of some 3,000 sculptures dating from ancient Egypt to Neoclassicism. It is one of the world’s most prominent museums specializing in sculpture.
In the establishment of a collection devoted exclusively to sculpture, the founding director Georg Swarzenski aspired towards the aim “of illustrating the development of sculpture through the historical ages by collecting outstanding or characteristic works”. As far back as the early twentieth century, the museum succeeded in acquiring a large number of outstanding works within just a few years.
