The Living Museum is the only one of its kind in the United States. Numerous institutions around the world are currently being created according to this model. In 2016, at the WHO conference in South Korea, the Living Museum concept was described as the fourth major revolution in the history of psychiatry.
In December 2022, AWO District Association employees had the opportunity to meet with co-founder Dr. Janos Marton and his current colleague Dr. Get to know Mitra Reyhani and bring as much knowledge and experience with you as possible. The president of the Potsdam district association AWO, Angela Schweers, was also enthusiastic about this concept.
The AWO Living Museum Potsdam project will be a day center and open studio for people with and without disabilities. At the same time it is a museum of modern art. There is a stress-free, supportive and appreciative atmosphere within the Living Museum. Here, people with mental and/or physical disabilities can engage in self-determined and meaningful activity. Likewise, art lovers can learn different techniques and get creative here.
