7 Foreword After four years of renovation, the moment finally arrived: as of October 2025 we are open to the public again. The art has once more returned to our refurbished rooms, offering new ways of experiencing and appreciating the artworks. In our newly expanded exhibition space you are now invited to explore the collection thematically, draw connections across different eras and see the works from fresh angles. A particular highlight is the immersive installation by Tobias Rehberger, created especially for the museum. Blending architecture, design, painting and sculpture, it stimulates the senses while inviting playful exploration. Those who look more closely will be richly rewarded. The Staatliches Museum Schwerin is now more vibrant and active than ever – only for the people of Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, but even further afield. Our aim is to spark enthusiasm for art and encourage discovery and new thoughts, inspiring visitors to linger, marvel and exchange ideas. The museum is now more child-friendly, more digital and more interactive – with almost complete step-free access. The café and shop have also been refurbished. We are especially grateful to the Dorit & Alexander Otto Stiftung, whose generous support has enabled us to restore our historic 1882 building in keeping with its heritage status, and to share this new beginning with you. This book is your compact companion to our collection and exhibition spaces. We wish you a wonderful time exploring the museum! Dr Pirko Kristin Zinnow Director and the entire team of the Staatliches Museum Schwerin
