Restaurierung im Dialog

"Restaurierung im Dialog" is a temporary exhibition about the conservation and restoration of cultural objects in museums. It is presented by the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im Berliner Schloss together with the Ethnologisches Museum and the Museum für Asiatische Kunst of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz. On show are two crest poles from the northwest coast of Canada, a small lacquer cabinet from the Qing dynasty, a Mongolian shrine from the 20th century and a ceremonial pipe of the Umoⁿhoⁿ from Nebraska, accompanied by a booklet with further information. The focus lies on the complex decisions that shape the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage and on dialogue and cooperation between international partners, conservators and curators.
