Unrecht & Profit
In the organizer's words:
Seemingly unsuspicious - for a long time, this was the role ascribed to museums during the Nazi era. Even more: due to the state-ordered confiscation of objects ("degenerate art"), they were even seen as victims. But with the "Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets" in 1998, the realization prevailed: All museums and institutions preserving cultural property were proven to have profited from the looting of Jewish-owned cultural assets. Now the Badisches Landesmuseum is facing up to its past.
The exhibition shows around 70 objects from the museum's own collections: Ceramics, paintings, sculptures and textiles from antiquity to Art Nouveau. The exhibits being presented for the first time were all unlawfully seized from their owners during the Nazi era: They illustrate the extent to which the Badisches Landesmuseum profited from the robbery of the Jewish population. One focus is on the years 1933 to 1945, but two acquisitions from the 1970s are also presented.
Another theme of the exhibition is the museum's function as a powerful visual backdrop: The former residential palace was at the center of political campaigns by the Nazi regime and the palace façade and the square in front of it were used for rallies. The exhibition design also illustrates the work of provenance research: large-format illustrations of newspaper cuttings, confiscation lists and press photos explain the source situation and provide important clues in the often years-long search for clues ...
The Badisches Landesmuseum shows events from the National Socialist era. In the context of the exhibition, historical sources can be seen unchanged in the original. We expressly distance ourselves from the ideology of National Socialism and from illegal and discriminatory content of any kind reproduced in this exhibition.
