Karl May Museum 3.0

The Karl May Museum in Radebeul has existed for over 90 years. A long time, which has left traces. There is a lack of space and building defects. The valuable collection on the indigenous peoples of North America – one of the most important collections in Europe – is threatened. For the future of the museum, the Karl May Foundation is planning a new reception building with a central visitor entrance, spacious storage facilities, as well as barrier-free access to the historic houses and modernization of the exhibitions. The total cost of this project is about 8.5 million euros, of which about 6 million euros are planned from public funds. Our goal is to be able to realize all our projects by the museum’s 100th birthday in 2028. We can only achieve this together with your support!

Help us. With your donation, you will contribute to the realization of this
project and secure the future of the Karl May Museum!

Schedule:

Laying of the foundation stone for the new reception building: 01.12.2024.
