The Museumsverband Thüringen e. V. is a central organization that advocates for the promotion and support of museums and cultural institutions in Thüringen.

• Museum Consulting: The association offers comprehensive advice on all aspects of museum work, including collecting, preserving, researching, communicating, and exhibiting[1].
• Training Programs: The office organizes subject-specific training programs and supports the activities of the working groups of the Museumsverband[1].
• Digitization and Inventory: In collaboration with the Thüringer Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek and the digiCULT-Verbund eG, the association supports the digitization and inventory of collection holdings in Thüringen museums[1].
• Provenance Research: The association operates a coordination office for provenance research to clarify the origins of collection objects and create transparency[1].

The main mission of the Museumsverband Thüringen e. V. is to strengthen and support museums and cultural institutions in Thüringen to preserve and promote the cultural diversity and heritage of the region. The association advocates for the professional and personnel strengthening of museums and promotes collaboration between museums and other cultural associations[1][3].

The Museumsverband Thüringen e. V. is actively engaged in sustainability in museums. An important focus is on the ecological design of exhibitions and the general museum operation. The association organizes workshops and events to support museums in making their activities more sustainable. Examples include the workshop "Sustainability in the Museum," which provides practical tips for environmentally friendly materials and reducing CO2 emissions[4].

Through these initiatives and close collaboration with other organizations such as the Thüringer Tourismus GmbH and the Deutscher Museumsbund e.V., the association sets standards for sustainable action in the museum landscape.
