The online publication, available in German, provides a clear introduction to the expectations placed on museums in an increasingly diverse society. It highlights the growing relevance of migration and diversity as defining features of contemporary cultural life. The guideline outlines how museums can respond through open, accessible and inclusive practices, with a focus on anti racist approaches, participation, multi perspectivity and flexible, process oriented ways of working.

Designed as a practical tool, the guideline shows how diversity can be embedded across all areas of museum work, ranging from collections and exhibitions to public engagement, staffing and organisational culture. To support implementation, it includes:
- Key questions for reflection and organisational development
- Checklists to assess current practice
- Practical examples from museums working with diversity and migration
- Background information, further reading and a glossary
The guideline emphasises that working with migration and diversity is a long term, institution wide commitment. By adopting these principles, museums can better represent diverse communities, strengthen social cohesion and offer more inclusive cultural experiences.
