75 Years Ago - Cologne in ruins

December 3, 2020 to June 27, 2021

At the centre of this impressive exhibition is a large model of the city of Cologne which was created for the feature film “About Endlessness” (2019) by the Swedish director Roy Andersson. The film is a poignant portrayal of the city in ruins immediately after the end of World War II in 1945. The Old Town was completely destroyed and hardly a single building was inhabitable above the basement level. Only roughly 40,000 people still lived in Cologne.

Alaaf auf Abstand

July 1, 2021 to October 3, 2021

DE Seit Frühling 2020 hält die Corona-Pandemie unsere Gesellschaft im Griff. Auch der Karneval musste neue Formen finden. Zusammen mit mehreren Kölner Fotografen hat sich das Kölnische Stadtmuseum ganz nah an die Orte und Akteure des Pandemiekarnevals 2020/2021 begeben. Dabei entstanden eindrucksvolle Fotografien und Reportagen, die zum Nachdenke anregen. Die Ausstellung findet virtuell und im Stadtraum statt.
