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

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. 

We have experienced so many things this past year (Get ready for a long and incomplete list in no particular order): the search for the ‘optimal’ visitor, saving artworks, realising how important speaking French can be, shipping difficulties and their surprising solutions, adult listeners losing interest, borderline experiences, capitalism critique, rucksack travels, smart solutions, nights at the Serbo-Croatian border crossing, and many Tuesday Questions.

We are also forever indebted to our many colleagues from administration, IT, museum education, graphics and exhibition design, public relations, the workshops, the museum registrars, the security and sales staff, research associates and translators, lenders, and artists. (At one point we counted how many people were involved in the exhibition and came up with over a thousand colleagues from museums in Europe and elsewhere!)

To show you our thanks we made this photo of the project team and excuse ourselves in advance for—well—you decide.
