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.
Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig
The foundation stone for the MdbK was laid in 1858, when members of the Leipzig Art Association put their idea into practice of founding a museum with a community foundation. After over 150 years, the MdbK is rich in stories and at the same time reflects Leipzig's history as a city of art.
