Tucher Fellowship

Biennial fellowship programme for doctoral candidates who wish to spend up to six months at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany.

The Germanisches Nationalmuseum (GNM – German National Museum of Nuremberg) is the largest museum of cultural history in the German-speaking region. The 26 collection areas and the research library’s more than 650,000 volumes in the areas of European art and cultural history offer cultural, artistic and historical testimonials from the beginning of history to the present.

Together with the Tucher’sche Kulturstiftung (Tucher Family Cultural Foundation), the museum offers biennial fellowships to doctoral candidates who wish to spend up to six months at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, Germany. Candidates are supported by the museum’s curatorial and research staff and have open access to the museum’s facilities. Furthermore, they will be involved in the museum’s trainee programme.

The thematic focus of the fellowships is on research on a topic in German art and/or cultural history. Research in relation to the history of the patrician family von Tucher is particularly encouraged.
