Activity Day During the Graphic Arts Weekend at the Kupferstichkabinett on 10 November 2019

Kupferstichkabinett

Does a Kupferstichkabinett only have copperplate prints? Is the yellowed print from the flea market really by Dürer or Michelangelo? How does the director of a museum choose her favourite work from more than 700,000 sheets? The Kupferstichkabinett of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin is one of the most significant collections of graphic art in the world, gathering together all kinds of works on paper. We’re inviting everybody with an interest in the field to discover this world as part of our activity day during the Graphic Arts Weekend on 10 November 2019, as well as offering the chance to take part in fascinating discussions in the study room.
