Institutions and Services

The foundation brings together 25 institutions: museums, libraries, archives and research institutes. The Central Service Unit is the central service provider for the institutions in administrative matters.

The facilities include a museum, archive and library. They also comprise various research institutes and the plaster cast workshop. With their universal collections and diverse projects for the scientific development and research of their holdings, the foundation's facilities form unique archives of knowledge.
