Museum questions

What we do in the museum …

In 2019, we opened the permanent exhibition “Spurensuche” (tracking the Past) to the history of our house. There we will show the interactive film station “Museum Questions”, which we developed according to the Korsakow principle of the Berlin filmmaker Florian Thalhofer.

Here, people who work at the Übersee-Museum or do research on our collections answer many questions or raise new ones. It deals with topics of provenance research, the colonial history of our collections, responsibility and the chances of knowledge transfer through digital media.
