The Kunsthalle Barmen becomes Kunsthalle Barmen Lab, a research institution of the University of Wuppertal. Kunsthalle Barmen Lab is a laboratory of cultural education, a meeting place for the locals of Wuppertal, visitors of the Kunsthalle Barmen and students. Kunsthalle Barmen Lab has a flexible exhibition architecture, has mobile laboratory equipment and provides a barrier-free access to the exhibition. At the Kunsthalle Barmen Lab, we develop and evaluate mediation formats and enable direct access to art through research and teaching.

Kunsthalle Barmen Lab is active, creative and fast. We are responding to current and pressing social issues, the politics of the day, exhibition themes and ideas from participants and visitors. We cooperate with schools, institutions and the local inhabitants. At the Kunsthalle Barmen Lab, we have an intergenerational approach and research the broader concept of mediation.
