The coal museum is a place of encounter and reflection for documenta fifteen. The green landscape park of the nearby Karlswiese has symbolically been stamped out of a black block. Coal briquets and plants define the building and are the main exhibition elements of the small museum. The key message is: “We have to place coal into the museum now, we can’t wait until 2038. Let us use the regenerative power of soil and plants.”
