On May 17, the Bernau Visitor Center will celebrate International Museum Day with a varied program for all age groups. Visitors can explore the exhibition, take part in special tours of the UNESCO site and Bauhaus workshops, and enjoy live music. “Museums Connect a Divided World” is the theme of International Museum Day.

not only preserves the past but also shapes future encounters, thereby creating connections.”
