Restoration in Dialogue

The exhibition in the Museum of Asian Art at the Humboldt Forum makes an often hidden profession visible: conservation and restoration. It presents two totem poles from the Northwest Coast of Canada, a lacquer cabinet from the Qing dynasty, a Mongolian shrine from the 20th century and a ceremonial pipe of the Umoⁿhoⁿ from Nebraska.

The focus is on the decision-making processes that shape the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage, and on dialogue between international partners, conservators and curators. A brochure goes deeper; four audio pieces by pupils accompany the show.

On the 3rd floor. Closed on Tuesdays; the exhibition ticket for Ethnological Collections and Asian Art is required.
