The world’s first anti-war museum was founded in Berlin in 1925 by pacifist, actor, and writer Ernst Friedrich and is celebrating its 100th anniversary. After being closed by the Nazis in 1933, the Anti-Kriegs-Museum reopened in 1982. Ernst Friedrich’s grandson Tommy Spree and a dedicated group of volunteers have been looking after visitors and the museum’s affairs ever since. Today, it is recognized as a non-profit organization and is largely financed by donations.
Frank Geßner, artist and professor for Theory and Practice of Visual Arts, has curated an interdisciplinary exhibition at the PEACE GALLERY with students from the Babelsberg Film University KONRAD WOLF & GUESTS. Beyond the classic white cube, an associative “thought exhibition” on the theme of war and peace is staged in the tradition of the universal Wunderkammer.
The exhibition uses QR codes to make multimedia content accessible. The QR codes can only be scanned with your own mobile devices and used with personal headphones.
