On this tour with Director Gundula Bavendamm you will take a look behind the scenes. Many people work on a large exhibition and contribute their expertise. The road is long and not everything succeeds. How did contentious issues affect the concepts? What principles played a role in the design? And what is the collection strategy behind the exhibits? You will learn interesting details about this.
Admission and participation free.
