Two museums dedicated to electronic music are scheduled to open up in Germany by the year 2017.
Dimitri Hegermann, the founder of Berlin's Tresor recently started fundraising money in order to open the country's very first museum dedicated to electronic music.
Ever since 1991, Tresor was a big part of Germany's underground techno scene. Now 25 years later Hegermann plans to open the museum with Tresor's 25th anniversary.
The first museum titled MOM (The Museum of Modern Electronic Music) will open in Frankfurt in early 2017. “Having experienced, followed and participated in this cultural movement in various forms since the beginning of the ‘80s, I was always confronted with the fact that this movement was way underestimated by most people” said MOMEM cofounder, Alex Azary. “Whether journalists, music critics, music industry or people from the art and culture scene.”
“We will present the development of electronic music since the late ‘70s, with all its genres and subgenres, the places where it happened, and where each style and sound was developed,” Azary says.
