Exhibitions

Our historical permanent exhibition Munich and National Socialism documents the origins, the impact, and the consequences of National Socialism up to the present day. Temporary exhibitions and interventions offer current and international perspectives and focus on certain aspects. Our formats can be artistic or participatory.

Due to renovations, the Munich Documentation Center for the History of National Socialism is currently closed to individual visitors, reopening on May 8, 2025 to celebrate its tenth anniversary with a diverse program. 

However, offers for school classes and student groups can still take place on request during the closure. Working together with our cooperation partners, we will hold our evening events at alternative venues and online.
