From 2024, the archaeological museum landscape in the Rhineland will be enriched by a new building, the MiQua. LVR Jewish Museum in the Archaeological Quarter of Cologne. The site had been known for a long time since the extensive excavations by Otto Doppelfeld in front of and below the Cologne City Hall, who extensively investigated the findings of the Praetorium, the medieval Jewish Quarter and the Christian Craftsmen’s Quarter in the 1950s. The name of the museum reveals that there is more to it than just the archaeology of the Roman or Medieval period. It is about 2000 years of history in the heart of the city of Cologne, about the history of the urban centre and the development of a more than unconventional museum concept. The City of Cologne, which has been running the precursor of the future museum since 1959 with the Praetorium, is the builder and the owner, while the Landschaftsverband Rheinland (Rhineland Regional Council) will operate the facility and manage the exhibition and event operations.
