Δ SPECIAL GUIDED TOUR

Provenance Research Day Tour of the eventful history of the villas of the Weltkulturen Museum 

 With Josefine Neef (provenance researcher)

On the occasion of Provenance Research Day on Wednesday, 9 April, the Weltkulturen Museum invites you to a guided tour at 6 pm. Provenance researcher Josefine Neef will show that her research is not only focussed on the origin of the collected objects, but also sheds light on the eventful history of the three historic villas in which the Weltkulturen Museum is located today.

Behind the splendid Gründerzeit façades with their questionable colonial charm lie complex stories. The tour provides insights into how the buildings were constructed, who their former residents were and how the museum has operated since the 1990s. A special focus is placed on the transition from private flats to municipal ownership and the use of the villas during National Socialism. How have the buildings developed since the Weltkulturen Museum moved in, and what challenges and opportunities do they present for the museum today? 

Free of charge.
Without registration

Δ READING AND TALK

Ulli Lust reads from “Die Frau als Mensch” at the Weltkulturen Museum
Moderated by Jakob Hoffmann

In books about the Stone Age, we mostly see men hunting, making tools or painting in caves. Most of the pictures of humans that have survived from the Ice Age show women. What kind of societies were these that portrayed them and their gender so centrally and without shame?

Ulli Lust is one of the most renowned representatives of German-language comics and recently exhibited works at the Center Pompidou (Paris). Austrian comic maker made her debut with “Heute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest meines Lebens” and presents her first non-fiction comic with “Die Frau als Mensch”.

The event series “stories+strips” is supported by the Kulturamt der Stadt Frankfurt am Main.
