Meret Oppenheit – Retrospective
Posted by kirsten in Museums & Exhibitions on septembre 3rd, 2013
16 August – 1 December 2013
Meret Oppenheim – Retrospective
Meret Oppenheim, born in Berlin on 6 October 1913, is counted among the most important female artists of the 20th century. Were she alive she would have celebrated her centenary in 2013. She was a significant protagonist of Surrealism.
Her playfully humorous use of everyday materials that she imbues with ever changing contexts of significance connects her to her artist friends Max Ernst, Alberto Giacometti, and Man Ray. Comprising 190 of her works this exhibition presents – for the first time ever in Berlin – the entire spectrum of her oeuvre, which remains pioneering to this day in terms of its independence and variety

Tutankhamun – His Tomb and his Treasures
(Sein Grab und die Schätze)
A major exhibition of the international archaeological sensation. The spectacular reconstruction of the Pharaoh’s tomb and treasures.
The Tutankhamun exhibition breaks new ground in the presentation of cultural history, in general and with ancient Egypt in particular.
On the one hand is the incomparable breadth of presentation with more than 1,000 objects – perfect replicas produced under scientific supervision – TUTANKHAMUN is more complete than any previous exhibition of originals. On the other hand, there is the sumptuous arrangement of the treasures.
Entering the tomb chamber, feeling like a discoverer with the unbelievable splendor right before your eyes, close enough to touch – it’s an adventure for all the senses that no visitor will forget.

The Story of Berlin – A first hand Interactive History
Posted by Pia in Museums & Exhibitions on février 24th, 2012
The permanent exhibition “The Story of Berlin” at Kurfürstendamm invites visitors to immerse into the history of the German capital in 23 theme rooms. The exhibition includes multimedia elements such as up-to-date animation technology and walk through sets to enable everyone to experience the different phases of the 800 years of the capital’s development, from its trading centre status in the Middle Ages to the Fall of The Berlin Wall.
The Story of Berlin successfully integrates modern exhibition features together with original models and lavishly reconstructed historic facsimiles to help the visitor “feel” the atmosphere of the city’s then and now.
Instead of merely displaying dates and facts about historical personalities, the priority is given to the Berliners and their lifestyle at certain points in history.
Visual elements such as 3D figures and elaborately constructed lightning vividly create the ambiance of the ancient.
A very special feature and a must-see is the nuclear bomb shelter from
the Cold War. It has been constructed for the inhabitants of West Berlin in order to prevent a huge nuclear contagion and now is an impressive reminder of the fear in the days of the Cold War.
Being situated underneath Kurfürstendamm, the shelter can be visited with a tour guide supporting the visitors with striking and at the same time distressing facts and details of the shelter.
Every hour sharp, the tour starts its journey into the past and underground.
Opening hours: Open daily from 10 am to 8 pm.
No entry after 6 p.m. The last guided tour through the nuclear shelter starts at 6 pm.
