events

We offer guided tours and events in Berlin and Dresden for anyone interested without any special prior knowledge, which are dedicated to the object and life stories in the collections, Nazi art theft and the role of museums in seizure and reappraisal.

The working group „Object histories, memory and mediation - impulses and methods“ at Haus Bastian - Centre for Cultural Education of the National Museums in Berlin explores interfaces and synergies between provenance research and historical-political and cultural education work. Using practical examples, inputs and joint work phases, the participants will develop concrete methods and tools to utilise provenance research, object biographies and restitution - especially in the context of Nazi history - in educational formats. The working group, which focuses on exchange and reflection, is aimed at multipliers from museums, collections, archives and school and non-school educational work and is designed as a consecutive, analogue format.

The discourse series builds on the content of the working group and presents current findings from academia and practice on provenance research, cultural and historical-political education. It invites transdisciplinary exchange and discusses synergies between these areas.
