KEY VISUAL 100 Jahre Museum Spandau
Zeughaus Zitadelle Spandau, Bleistift auf Papier
In the decades that followed, the museum not only moved several times until it was able to fully develop in the citadel. It also grew in the tasks it shares with all museums – collecting, preserving, researching, exhibiting and communicating.
The collection and exhibition areas grew steadily, as did the variety of topics and the demands on conveying history.
In 2024 we will not only be celebrating a milestone birthday, but also the development from a local history museum, which today certainly seems dusty, to unique spaces for exchanging ideas about origins and futures, cultural assets and life stories, new discoveries and new stories to be told.
However, the exhibition provides more than just an insight into the last 100 years of museum work in Spandau. She talks intensively about the political influence on local research - completely perverted from 1933 to 1945, but not entirely free from it in other decades either.
But the objects, images and quotes also bear witness to the dreams, wishes and realities of the people of Spandau.
What is and remains important in this exhibition are the opportunities for a direct exchange of opinions, ideas and wishes for the future of a historical museum. A playful approach with interactive stations invites visitors to explore valuable or strange things, make decisions about preservation and think about concepts such as tradition and home.
