Our society today is shaped by people with a wide variety of lifestyles and backgrounds. Recognising this diversity as the norm is a task that we face in our social interactions on a daily basis and in the long term. In a society with a high level of immigration as in Germany, cultural diversity leads to new perspectives and new directions in museum work. This follows from the definition of museums set out by the International Council of Museums, which describes them as non-profit institutions „in the service of society and its development“.
