From Idea to Realisation – Interview with Anna-Jelena Schilling and Tom Gärtner

With the exhibition “Dive into the Picture! Time Travel for Kids” the Deutsches Historisches Museum showed for the first time, from 2 June 2024 to 19 January 2025, an inclusively designed exhibition for children of grade school age. It was based on the Picture of the Month “January – February – March”, which belongs to the famous seasonal cycle of the so-called “Augsburg Pictures of the Months” from the 16^th century, one of the most important artworks in the DHM collections. Here the world of 500 years ago unfolds before us as if we were in a 3-D walk-in backdrop. In our interview series we talk with the people and teams that have made this exhibition possible through their ideas and expertise. In this interview, we spoke with Anna-Jelena Schilling, project assistant, and Tom Gärtner, student assistant, about the evaluation of the exhibition.
