KUNST-SONNTAG im Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte – KUNST-GESCHICHTE entdecken

In the organizer's words:

Public series of events

In the form of short lectures followed by a discussion, the Central Institute for Art History (ZI) series sheds light on Munich in the first post-war decade: How did the former "capital of German art" change under Allied control? What ruptures and continuities can be observed in the "art operating system"? How did the repatriation of Nazi-looted art take place, what did the city look like back then, what narratives did art and art history develop and what phenomena have only recently begun to be studied?

The Art Sundays are part of the program Public History Munich: 1945 - 2025 Zero Hour? How we became what we are.
