Max Hollein in conversation with Hermann Parzinger at the Neue Nationalgalerie on 18 November at 20:00
Press release from 11/12/2021
The Director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and the President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation talk about the Kulturforum and new challenges for museums after the pandemic
Max Hollein was a child when his father, the architect Hans Hollein, was busy combining the Berlin Kulturforum into a meaningful whole. Today, the director of the Metropolitan Museum in New York is himself busy trying to fascinate visitors for a place of art. And he asks himself what guests expect from a museum today - and what they don't. How do museums cope with crises and what will happen to cultural centres in general?
Max Hollein comes to Berlin as part of the "Utopia Kulturforum" project and talks to the President of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, Hermann Parzinger, in the new Neue Nationalgalerie about his memories of the Kulturforum and what could perhaps become of it, but of course also about challenges and new beginnings after the pandemic.
The discussion will be moderated by Lisa Zeitz, editor-in-chief of "Weltkunst".
The event will also be shown online with a time delay and can be accessed afterwards at: https://vimeo.com/spkvideo/gespraech-hollein
The event is free of charge. The 2G rule of the state of Berlin applies.
