The exhibition not only celebrates the long history of the semantic coexistence of art and science, it also refers to the complex times between the two world wars, which had a strong influence on the institution. This time was characterized by euphoria, enthusiasm, but also severe deprivation and the negative effects of the Nazi regime, which almost caused the institute to close. In addition, war damage is an important topic both in the collection and in teaching. Visitors can look forward to an exemplary selection of objects that reflect the development and current state of art history.
