    Δ ***CANCELLED***GUIDED TOUR WITH SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER CHRISTOPH MOELLER AND IRIS LOEW

    “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”

    Our world is full of colour, but do all cultures see it in the same way? While the scientific basis for perception is identical for everyone, light waves can’t really explain how we name our impressions of colour, the number (and kind) of categories we divide these colours into, or the meanings and associations we ascribe to them.

    Touring the exhibition, Iris Loew shows how perception of colour sometimes differs enormously depending on the language and culture involved. Sign language interpreter Christopher Moeller translates.

    Δ INTERNATIONAL MUSEUMS DAY. WORKSHOP FOR KIDS AND FAMILIES.

    “Sky Blue, Crocodile Green, Lemon Yellow”

    The world of colours is truly thrilling. What colours are there and where do we find them? In nature we come across colours wherever we look: in plants, in the animal kingdom, and in rocks and minerals. Berries dye our hands red or blue. Colours can also be seen in many different combinations on animals: for example on a butterfly’s wings, the feathers of birds, and the skin and fur of various creatures.

    We will discover all the colours in the exhibition “Sky Blue, Crocodile Green, Lemon Yellow”. After that we will produce our own colours from natural materials.






    For children from 6 years

    • The intensive red of the feather money (mangahau) from the Melanesian Santa Cruz Islands is produced by the artful arrangement of up to 60,000 small cinnabar red feathers of the honeyeater (Myzomela Cardinalis). If the red fades over time, then the feather money roll also loses its value. Feathers, bark, barkcloth, snail shells, Job’s tears seeds. Collected by Volker Schneider, 1980s.

    Δ “RED IN FOCUS”

    Theme related guided tour with Oliver Hahn (research assistent Oceania collection)

    In many cultures, the colour red plays a significant role in the way people see the world, whether it is painted on their bodies for beautification and protection, or serves as a sacred colour, or features in the material culture. Consequently, it is a colour that also appears in many different sections of the exhibition “GREEN SKY, BLUE GRASS. Colour Coding Worlds”. 

    Oliver Hahn guides through the exhibiton. He investigates the meaning of red as a colour in various cultures by looking at case studies from the Amazon region, New Guinea and Polynesia. 

    Please register via the booking button “TERMIN BUCHEN”. The number of participants is limited to ten people.
