BerlinZEIT – Die Stadt macht Geschichte!
In the organizer's words:
In the Museum Ephraim-Palais, the Stadtmuseum Berlin presents its newly revamped permanent exhibition BerlinZEIT - Die Stadt macht Geschichte!
A city of diversity, ruptures and change
The exhibition takes visitors on a journey through eight centuries - from the founding of Berlin to the present day and beyond - along formative periods and highlighting years. Berlin is told in an easily understandable and compact way using numerous original objects as a city of diversity and openness, but also as a city of ruptures and radical change.
The redesigned and conceptually enhanced permanent exhibition is characterized by three main themes: urban development through growth and destruction, tolerance and persecution, rule and co-determination. The second floor of the museum is dedicated to the period from the formation of Berlin eight hundred years ago to the November Revolution of 1918. The second floor looks at Berlin as it grew into a metropolis, from its expansion into the surrounding area in 1920 to the present day.
The narrative arc within these time periods is chronological, but visitors can decide for themselves where they want to immerse themselves in the city's eventful history. Various media and activation stations offer access to selected content in a variety of ways - including interviews with Berlin players from the 1990s in politics, business and culture. Other stations delve deeper into topics such as anti-Semitism, women's rights and gay and lesbian emancipation. A bilingual audio guide leads visitors through the exhibition in German and English.
Background: The reason for the presentation of "BerlinZEIT" in the Museum Ephraim-Palais is the extensive renovation of the Märkisches Museum, the traditional location of the Stadtmuseum Berlin for permanent exhibitions on Berlin's history, which will take several years. Once the modernization of the neighbouring Marinehaus has been completed, both buildings will form the heart of a museum and creative quarter in Köllnischer Park in a few years' time.
