Hamburg's future

Lecture & Discussion

What's happening in Hamburg? Where are the most exciting projects, the wildest construction sites, the greatest potential for the "growing city"? Hamburg entrepreneurs report on their projects and ideas. A report on the current situation is presented by Hamburg's Chief Building Director Franz-Josef Höing. The event takes place in the MKG on 22 January from 7 - 9:30 pm. Free admission, registration required at: kap-forum.de/baustellehamburg More Information

Unexpected Discoveries

Guided Tour

On 1 February at 3 pm Tobias Mörike (Head of the Islam Collection) and Sarah Kreiseler (curator) will talk in dialogue about how the 14th century ceramic from Bukhara came to the museum from Central Asia, what research stands behind it and what clues are hidden in the photographs of the object. Visitors are invited to compare the object and its images directly in the exhibition "The Second Original". More Information

Baroque sounds

Presentation Clavichord

The sensitive clavichord, one of the oldest stringed keyboard instruments, can express the most diverse shades of sounds. Made in Hamburg around 1780 by the famous instrument maker J. C. Gerlach, it now resounds again in his home town: on 26 January 2020 at 12 noon, Prof. Harald Vogel will play works by Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The entrance fee is included in the museum admission fee. More Information

In addition to abstract patterns, the men's coat from 2015 features monkey and eye motifs, a self-portrait and the lettering "EXPLICIT BEAUTY", which is also the collection title. More Information
