The TMD is the theatre museum & Dumont-Lindemann archive of the state capital Düsseldorf and has been in existence since 1947. Located in the beautiful Hofgartenhaus, it sees itself as a meeting place for a diverse urban society with performing arts. On the ground floor, the permanent exhibition invites visitors to get to know a historically unique reform theatre. On the upper floor, the TMD's special exhibitions are dedicated to changing themes from its diverse collection. A varied programme of events is also on offer: Visitors can not only meet the TMD team, but also the extraordinary artists and cultural professionals associated with the museum. In addition to guided tours, talks and lectures, the Hofgartenhaus also hosts educational programmes, performances, drag evenings and voguing balls.
