      The Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums (abbreviation in their own way of writing: rem) are a museum association based in Mannheim, which operates several local museums, cultural institutes and research facilities. They are a municipal company owned by the City of Mannheim. The Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums are extensively supported by the non-profit rem gGmbH, which brings together several foundations to promote the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums. In 1913, the Mannheim entrepreneur Carl Reiß (1843–1914), in agreement with his sister Anna Reiß, bequeathed his entire fortune to the city of Mannheim in order to set up a Reiß Museum. However, this museum could only be realized after the Second World War and the reconstruction of the Mannheim Arsenal in 1957, which was then called the Reiß Museum. The industrialist Curt Engelhorn (1926-2016) and his wife Heidemarie founded the Curt Engelhorn Foundation for the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums in 2001, which provides around 25 million euros in financial support for the previous Reiß Museum. The museum was then renamed the Reiss-Engelhorn-Museums.
      In 2014 rem gGmbH was founded. This bundles the activities for the Curt Engelhorn Foundation, the Bassermann Cultural Foundation Mannheim and the Blackberry Foundation and is responsible for part of the operative business of the museums. For example, it organizes special exhibitions, coordinates scientific projects and is responsible for the museums' press and public relations work.

        The Reiss-Engelhorn Museums go back to the Electoral Academy of Sciences, founded in 1763. Today several museums and institutions are united under one roof:

        World Cultures Museum for Archeology and World Cultures
        Museum armory for art, city and theater history
        Schiller House Museum
        Institute for International Art and Cultural History
        Curt Engelhorn Center for Archaeometry (affiliated institute of the University of Tübingen)
        Zephyr (in square C4), a contemporary photography exhibition space
        Museum Bassermannhaus for music and art[57]


        Changing special exhibitions also take place in the Museum of World Cultures. Topics of past exhibitions were, for example, the Maya, Pompeii, early history of Japan and the Germans. Currently - autumn 2022 - the special exhibition "The Normans" is taking place there, which is well worth seeing.
