Unique educational cosmos

The Francke Foundations are a unique educational cosmos in Europe. With their historical collections in baroque school architecture, their exhibitions, and especially their educational and social projects, they are much more than a museum. Founded with the aim of improving society, we participate in current social debates: democratic education, social participation, sustainable action.
