Exhibition: What is enlightenment? Questions to the 18th century

What is the Enlightenment? The exhibition is dedicated to this question, first posed in the Berlinische Monatsschrift in 1783, and focusses on important debates of this era.  Important themes of the so-called long 18th century are also considered from an international perspective.

Exhibition Roads not taken. Or: It could have turned out differently

The exhibition shows the probabilities of history that failed to materialise - prevented by coincidences, averted by misfires or the weight of personal inadequacies - on the basis of 14 distinctive points in German history. An unusual historical view from 1989 back to 1848.

Exhibition: On Displaying Violence: First Exhibitions on the Nazi Occupation in Europe, 1945-1948

How did post-war societies process the experience of violence and annihilation caused by the Second World War and the forcible occupation of large parts of Europe by National Socialist Germany? For the first time the Deutsches Historisches Museum plans to examine the history of this pan-European phenomenon on the basis of early exhibitions in London, Paris, Warsaw, Liberec and Bergen-Belsen.
