Film

The "Backstories" series tells remarkable object stories from the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. For once, this instalment is not about one particular object, but about many: Over 20,000 exhibits from the Ethnologische Museum and the Museums für Asiatische Kunstin Berlin Dahlem are moving to the new Humboldt Forum in Berlin-Mitte. On the way there, they will make stops on Museum Island and in other parts of the city - this video provides an overview of all the exhibitions.
