The main task of the Stiftung Bayerisches Amerikahaus gGmbH – Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations (Amerikahaus Munich) is to inform the public, especially younger generations, about the importance of the transatlantic relations between Bavaria and North America. To this end, we offer a wide range of cultural events and services, such as book presentations and exhibitions, theater performances and concerts, lectures and discussions, conferences and workshops. Furthermore, we serve as an academic network center and platform for transatlantic activities of the Free State of Bavaria.
The Bavarian Center for Transatlantic Relations is the largest institution concerned with transatlantic relations in Germany, and its central role as such is confirmed by financial support from the State of Bavaria, the U.S. government, major Bavarian companies and private donations as well.
Our program concerning culture and society reaches all generations by offering book presentations and exhibitions, theater performances and concerts, lectures and discussion.
The library’s large variety of books, magazines, DVDs and online databases is of great use to High School and university students and it also provides interested individuals of the general public with information about North America.
The department of Education and Exchange advises young people who want to go abroad to the USA or Canada. Our presentations at universities throughout Bavaria are often the first inspiration for students to start looking into possibilities of going abroad.
Teachers can take advantage of our program through advanced training, teaching materials and selected essay packages.
The objective of the Bavarian American Academy (BAA) is to support research on or related to the USA and to enhance the interaction between science and culture, society and economy.
Although the primary focus of the Academy‘s activities is the USA, in the context of interdisciplinary and interregional studies it also supports research on Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean.
Supporters of our institution are organized in the “Amerikanaus Verein e.V.” (Amerikahaus Association Munich), a major contributor to our work.
