Invisible stories in museums

The topic of this event is how provenances can be conveyed in museums and how stories made invisible can be made visible. How can provenance research be part of a permanent exhibition and other exhibition projects? How can hidden collection stories become accessible to visitors? Mathilde Heitmann-Taillefer, curator of research, scientific cooperation and provenance research at Museum Folkwang and the project team from “Making Visible — Traces of Jewish Engagement in the MdbK” at the Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig: Dr. Ulrike Sass, Sharon Adler and Shlomit Lehavi talk about this.

Art, Robbery and Restitution — Forgotten Life Stories is a project of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and the Dresden State Art Collections in cooperation with the German Center for Losing Cultural Property. It is funded as part of the federal program “Live Democracy! “by the Federal Ministry of Education, Family, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth as well as by the Friede Springer Foundation.
