In simulated dialog with the artist
For many museum visitors, seeing the works of Käthe Kollwitz gives rise to questions and thoughts that they would like to share and discuss with others. In order to fulfil these wishes and strengthen the connection to the younger generation, the idea of the Kollwitz avatar was born – a virtual contact person who picks up on emotions and thoughts and acts in an attentive and listening way.
Museum in the neighbourhood
Many families live in the neighbourhood. They pass the museum and cross the park in the direction of the school and daycare centre. Some adults have not yet noticed that the Kollwitz Museum has moved into the theatre building at Charlottenburg Palace. Suddenly their children are talking about Mrs Kollwitz and her works as they pass by.
Woodcut and its potential in the digital age
As part of the funding program “Cultural Communities – Competencies, Minds, Cooperations,” the Museum für Druckkunst Leipzig and the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Berlin were able to realize an exciting and mutually enriching collaboration. The thematic focus was on the artistic craft technique of woodcutting.
