The event

Invisible Stories in the Museum – How are provenances, object histories, and the associated life stories made visible in the exhibition space?

Haus Bastian - Centre for Cultural Education, Am Kupfergraben 10, 10117 Berlin

14. 10. 2026

18:00 - 20:00

This event is about how provenance is communicated in museums and how to make invisible stories visible. How can provenance research be part of permanent exhibitions and other exhibition projects? How can hidden collection histories be made accessible to visitors? Mathilde Heitmann-Taillefer, Curator for Research, Scientific Cooperations and Provenance Research at the Museum Folkwang, and Dr. Ulrike Saß from the project team of „Making Visible – Traces of Jewish Engagement at the MdBK“ at the Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig will be discussing this.

Funded as part of the federal programme „Demokratie leben!“ (Democracy Lives!) by the Federal Ministry for Education, Family, Seniors, Women and Youth.

Admission and participation are free of charge.
