Memory is... Intervention

Intervention with objects and their stories

May 8, 2025 to May 10, 2026

About the intervention

A hat, a puppet, a tablet tube, a beer mug. What memories are associated with these things, what stories do they tell? For one year the Documentation Center's exhibition Munich and National Socialism will feature selected objects, expanding its narrative with new stories. Some of the objects are large, some small, some of them everyday, others more unusual, but all of them will allow us to access history through our senses and view the past from a different perspective. Tangible things and individual perspectives make the bigger picture easier to grasp. 

On the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Documentation Center Memory is… will invite visitors to reflect collectively on how difficult and painful experiences can be portrayed, communicated, received, and interpreted.
