The Tuesday Question, Part XII
Last week 15 young people from across Europe visited us with the idea of using their tour of the exhibition as the background for a discussion about freedom. The workshop was organised by the Körber Foundation. Much has happened during these four days and there is much to show you, because some aspects required their creativity. The artworks, for example, may not be photographed for copyright reasons, which presented us with the problem—as was the case with our #MuseUp—of wanting to talk about art without being allowed to show it. Ten workshop participants, however, didn’t let these little details get in their way and simply went about reinterpreting the works.
Our Tuesday Question for today is: What did our young Europeans do and what was the outcome?

Danke, Grazie, Aitäh, Dziękuję – The Grand Finale
Yesterday marked the end of our four-month presentation of The Desire for Freedom in Berlin. The artworks are already being packed for transport. The opening in the Palazzo Reale in Milan will happen in one month. Yesterday we held a closing event for The Desire for Freedom, although it is not common practice at the DHM.

Keep calm and #MuseUp! – The Tuesday Question, Part X
We usually present a Tuesday Question here. But we held our very first MuseUp last Friday, so we would like tell you about it—or answer the question: How did our #MuseUp go?

The Tuesday Question, Part IX
The Catholic University in Eichstatt-Ingolstadt developed history workshops on certain subjects to supplement the DHM education department’s pedagogical programme: ‘Icons of terror—icons of freedom’, ‘Way to stop the forgetting: remembrance and commemoration in contemporary art’, and ‘Worlds to live in, worlds to take in'. What is unique about the history workshops is they encourage the students themselves to become the creative ones.
We were not the only curious ones, so our ninth Tuesday Question is: How does a history workshop actually go?

The Tuesday Question, Part VIII
Our Tuesday Questions have looked into what goes on behind the scenes (or at the desks) in the project office, why we have both analogue and digital versions of the exhibition catalogue, how the exhibition artworks are selected, or who Leo Glückselig actually is.
Today’s Tuesday Question looks beyond the German Historical Museum. We asked the project team what their favourite exhibition of the past year was, thus following the lead of the Frankfurt Historical Museum’s call for a blog carnival.
