Curator's Tour: NEVER AGAIN! – Experience cultural memory firsthand
On Sunday, November 22, 2026, the Bundeskunsthalle Bonn invites you to a special curator's tour through the exhibition NEVER AGAIN! Against the Forgetting of Nazi Crimes. From 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, Henriette Pleiger, the curator of the exhibition, will guide the audience through a presentation that connects historical testimonies, authentic objects, and artistic positions.
Insights into the Creation of the Exhibition
The one-hour tour provides immediate access to the curatorial concept of the exhibition. Central questions of memory culture are at the forefront: How can evidence at historical crime scenes be secured? What significance do authentic testimonies hold in the digital age? And how can memorial work contribute to protecting democracy?
Historical Testimonies and Artistic Positions
Between documents, objects, and works of art, an immersive discovery experience unfolds. The exhibition examines how forms of remembrance of the Nazi crimes are changing and what attacks remembering faces today. Exhibits such as worn shoes from the 1930s reference the concrete, tangible dimension of history.
Local History in an International Context
The Bundeskunsthalle presents the exhibition in collaboration with the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora Memorial Foundation. This connects Bonn's cultural education with regional memorial work. Visitors receive expert orientation on historical contexts, cultural heritage, and the challenges of responsible memory culture.
A Concentrated Museum Visit in Bonn
The curator's tour lasts 60 minutes and takes place in the indoor areas of the Bundeskunsthalle. Afterwards, a self-guided tour of the exhibition offers the opportunity to view selected works and historical testimonies in peace. Participation in the tour costs 6 euros, reduced 3 euros, plus entry to the exhibition.
Conclusion
This tour combines expert art education with an intense look at local history, historical responsibility, and the future of remembrance. Anyone who wants to not only see the exhibition in Bonn but also understand its themes from a curatorial perspective will find a cultural enrichment with lasting impact here. Tickets are available at the box office or in the online shop of the Bundeskunsthalle.
