Goethe-Museum im Schloss Jägerhof

Since 1987, Schloss Jägerhof in Düsseldorf has housed the Goethe Museum, one of the three important Goethe archive and research sites. The institution consists of the museum itself, the manuscript archive, the research library, the art collection and an event center. The holdings of about 50,000 objects come from what was once the largest private collection on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) and his time, built up by the publisher Anton Kippenberg (1874-1950), and include manuscripts, books, arts and crafts, and a research library.

The museum and archive have the goal of historically researching the work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and documenting his reception up to the present day. In doing so, the institutions see themselves as a modern center of scholarship and communication, concentrating the tasks of collecting, researching and communicating with a view to the present. Their goal is not the mere celebration of a plaster bust, but a lively critical approach to the multi-layered work of this universal genius.

One of the outstanding attractions of the Goethe Museum is the Faust Laboratory, which deals with Goethe's insatiable spirit of research. Here, in particular, his preoccupation with anatomy and morphology as well as the creation of an artificial human being in the second part of "Faust" are brought into focus and intensively examined.
