Exhibition until 31.10.2027: Objects. History. Stories. Reviewing the Collection

The Deutsches Historisches Museum used to think about history as a perception of time and as a linear sequence. But history is also bound to places, rooms and settings. History speaks not only about the shift of time, but also about the shift in location. This idea forms the basis of Object. History. Histories and questions selected objects/bundles from different periods about their origin and wanderings. Doing so, the exhibition explores and illustrates their transformation on the basis of their political, social and cultural spatial contexts.

Reflections on a historically evolving Collection

The museum’s historically evolving collection forms the centre of the exhibition. As a place of remembrance, it is subject to constant change and also reflects the specific collecting practices of the DHM’s antecedent institutions: the Hall of Honour of the Prussian-Brandenburg Army, the Army Museum of the Nazi regime, the Museum für Deutsche Geschichte of the GDR, and the merging of that institution with the DHM, which was founded in West Berlin in 1987.
