Deutsches Historisches Museum - Verf�hrung Freiheit. Kunst in Europa seit 1945 - Blog

It began with a short conversation on Twitter and a to-do-list for 2013 as the new year was just three weeks off.  

What actually happens in the project office after the exhibition has opened?

What does the project team do once the catalogue is edited, the artworks safely shipped and installed in the museum, the blog and the Facebook page set up, the exhibition design decided, the audio guide mixed, the opening remarks made, and the exhibition officially opened?

A comparison of project members’ desks. 

Some call it winter; we call it museum weather. Even if it isn’t that cold, the monotone grey outside doesn’t exactly make you think of long walks. Nonetheless, in an effort to convince more visitors of the true value of ‘museum weather’ and our exhibition, we invited two organisations, Livekritik and Kulturloge Berlin, in for a visit. 

The students collect at the entrance to The Desire for Freedom at 10 a.m. Theatre director Thorsten Schlenger, standing at the front, doesn’t wait long with his questions: ‘What does freedom actually mean? What about desire?’ 

With this last blog entry for 2012 (and no, we don’t believe that the world is going to end on 21 December.), we would like first and foremost to thank you all: our visitors, readers, Facebook fans, Twitter followers, journalists, and bloggers for your visits, comments, conversations, stimulating ideas, suggestions for improvement, and your (often justified) criticism.
