The exhibition "Schmidt! Living Democracy" offers insights into a century of German and international contemporary history, highlighting — still highly relevant — conflict topics, particularly from the 1970s and 1980s. At its core is the life's work of our namesake: democracy. Freedom of expression, and if necessary, controversial debate, along with the competition of ideas for the common good, were central concerns for him.In the spirit of Schmidt, we also invite our guests to engage in discussion and pose questions about the future of democracy in Germany, Europe, and the world."Culture by Phone" brings guided tours from the museum directly to your home in a straightforward way via telephone.
