Bei Anruf Kultur
Cultural Experiences Over the Phone—Live, Free, Nationwide
When was the last time you visited a museum? Or experienced culture in person, without any assistance? “Bei Anruf Kultur” brings museums, exhibitions, and other cultural venues right to your home—simply and live over the phone—nationwide.
What is “Bei Anruf Kultur”?
This nationwide program offers telephone tours of museums, galleries, memorial sites, theaters, literary houses, and more. The program also includes city tours, tours of historic sites, and church tours. More than 140 cultural institutions are participating. Examples include the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Pinakotheken in Munich, state-run archaeology and natural history collections, the soccer museums of BVB, FC St. Pauli, and Werder Bremen, and the Klassik Stiftung Weimar.
A cultural guide will lead you live for one hour through, for example, an exhibition. They’ll describe the visual content to you. You simply listen and have the opportunity to ask questions or chat with the other listeners along the way—just like on an in-person tour.
Who can participate?
This program is open to anyone interested, but is especially intended for people who are unable to experience these cultural events in person. For example, because they are blind or visually impaired, have limited mobility, or are unable to attend in person for other reasons. Others may not feel comfortable attending group events or may not be able to afford to attend.
What do I need to participate?
All you need is a phone. It's up to you whether you use a smartphone or a landline. And you'll need to register for the respective conference call to receive the dial-in number.
