About Museum PARCUM

What do we do?

Museum PARCUM showcases the remarkable heritage of Park Abbey and presents engaging exhibitions on religious heritage. Museum PARCUM aims to be an open-minded and welcoming meeting place — a space for critical reflection, wonder and dialogue.

Our greatest work of art is Park Abbey itself. The abbey houses magnificent art treasures such as the unique stucco ceilings and stained-glass windows. We tell the story of this site, where past, present and future come together.

Museum PARCUM also organises temporary exhibitions. The themes connect religious heritage with art, culture and society. What does this heritage mean in our diverse society? As a museum, we aim to be relevant to all visitors, across different faith backgrounds and generations. That is why we always present religious heritage from multiple perspectives.

Museum PARCUM is jointly operated by PARCUM and the Heritage Site Park Abbey.
