Europäischer Tag der jüdischen Kultur. Jüdische Geschichte und Kultur in Köln: Sammeln und Ausstellen

In the organizer's words:

MiQua is not the first place in Cologne to exhibit and communicate Jewish history and culture. As early as 1914, the artist Friedrich Adler presented contemporary themes of Jewish life at the first exhibition of the Deutscher Werkbund. Until 1933, two further exhibitions and a museum project focused on Jewish culture. After the Shoah, the "Monumenta Judaica" exhibition in 1963 was dedicated to two millennia of Jewish history on the Rhine with over 2000 objects.

Jewish objects are still exhibited and collected in Cologne today. Each of these collectors or exhibition organizers has asked themselves which objects are particularly characteristic of Jewish history and culture. On the European Day of Jewish Culture, Christiane Twiehaus will give a richly illustrated insight into these exhibitions, the objects and the respective motivations and backgrounds every full hour.

The short lecture will be repeated on the hour between 1 and 4 pm.

Address: MiQua:forum, Alter Markt 31, 50667 Cologne
