Pop-up exhibition of the secondary school "Ulrich von Hutten" ©Stiftung Kleist-Museum

Ships of Fortune –
From autograph to pop-up exhibition

until 1 September 2024

More than 200 pupils from year 7 at Frankfurt's "Ulrich von Hutten" and "Heinrich von Kleist" secondary schools explored the museum's professions, which are often in the background. They conducted interviews with employees, learnt about professional biographies and got to know the museum as a regional employer. At the end, they tried things out for themselves: They planned and designed a small pop-up exhibition on Heinrich von Kleist – on display are hundreds of ships of fortune.

The project was funded by the European Union, the Federal Employment Agency and the state of Brandenburg.
