Mother of Pearl Museum in Adorf-Vogtland by Schulz und Schulz

A new Mother of Pearl Museum is set to open in Adorf/Vogtland, Germany, in 2025. The project, designed by Schulz und Schulz, aims to revitalize the rural region by leveraging its unique heritage.

The museum is a flagship project for Adorf, a town facing challenges like an aging population and economic decline. It is designed to be a symbol of local identity and a catalyst for positive development.

This museum is unique globally, focusing on freshwater pearl mussels, pearl fishing, and mother-of-pearl craftsmanship. Adorf intends to use this distinct feature to drive structural change.

The project spans 2013 m² with a net floor area of 1112 m² and a gross volume of 5869 m³.

Key collaborators include Gustav Willeit and Albrecht Voss for photography, Mathes Beratende Ingenieure GmbH for structural engineering, and KOCMOC.NET GmbH for exhibition design.
