On Wednesday, 12 June 2024, 5:30‒10:00 pm, the joint summer event of the Bröhan-Museum, the Rathgen-Forschungslabor (Rathgen Research Laboratory) and the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg ‒ Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, which has become a tradition over the past few years, is taking place once again. The Freie Universität Berlin’s Abguss-Sammlung Antiker Plastik, a collection of casts of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture, is participating for the first time this year. A varied exhibition and event programme awaits visitors at the shared building ensemble neighbouring Schloss Charlottenburg (Palace). Admission is free.
The PGH Glühende Zukunft (PGH Glowing Future) exhibition opens at the Bröhan-Museum. Tours will be given through this graphic design show and two other current exhibitions: Geheimcodes. Hans Baluscheks Malerei neu lesen! (Secret Codes. Hans Baluschek’s Painting Re-read!) and Belles choses. Art Nouveau um 1900 (Belles choses. Art Nouveau Around 1900). In addition, the museum features a creative hands-on station for children and adults.
The Rathgen-Forschungslabor’s programme takes the motto “Das Unsichtbare sichtbar machen” (Making the Invisible Visible). It includes discussion forums, a poster exhibition and a video presentation. In addition, the Röntgenmobil (a travelling x-ray laboratory) from the Deutsches Röntgen-Museum in Remscheid is contributing a hands-on station to the event: “X-Perimente ‒ eine Reise durch das elektromagnetische Spektrum. Wir machen mit Hilfe von Röntgen-, Infrarot und UV-Strahlen Unsichtbares sichtbar” (X-periments ‒ A journey through the electromagnetic spectrum. Making the invisible visible with the help of x-rays, infrared and ultraviolet rays).
The Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg offers tours of Formverlust? (Loss of Form?), the collection’s new presentation focusing on Bernard Schultze’s Großes Migof-Labyrinth (Large Migof Labyrinth). Moreover, artistic experiments of the Surrealist kind – a very different way of painting ‒ can be tried out in an open studio.
The Abguss-Sammlung Antiker Plastik also offers tours through its exhibition, which presents a comprehensive overview of the history and visual manifestations of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture.
The band “The Mazookas” rounds off the summer event with music – and the Bettina Berggruen Garden invites visitors to a summery tête-à-tête over drinks and light meals.
