During the workshop Sudanese Objects in German Collections, Hannah Baader and the Art Histories Fellows 2015/16 visited the Egyptian Museum and the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (ZI) in Munich.

At the Egyptian Museum, the group focused on the arts and architectures of Sudan within the collection of the Egyptian Museum. Together with Sylvia Schoske (director of Egyptian Museum Munich, head of Naga Excavation Project), Arnulf Schlüter (deputy director of Egyptian Museum Munich), and Dietrich Wildung (scientific head of Naga Excavation Project), the members of the Art Hisortries Program discussed  the architecture of the current museum building at the Munich Kunstareal, the use of new media as a tool for knowledge transfer within the exhibition space, as well as aspects of the history of the collection, the museum’s philosophy of acquisition and the overall presentation of the museum. Of particular interest was the Naga Excavation in the Southeast of Khartoum, Sudan.

At the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, Hannah Baader and the Art Histories Fellows gathered with Ulrich Pfisterer (director of ZI), Matteo Burioni (ZI), and several other members and fellows of the ZI. Apart from research presentations of the joined Fellows of ZI and Art Histories, the group took part in a reading seminar on Hannah Baader’s and Ittai Weinrib’s article Images at Work: On Efficacy and Historical Interpretations (in representations 133, 2016, pp. 1-19).

The workshop in Munich was framed by a guided tour at Lenbachhaus with Karin Althaus (Head of Collection and Curator of 19th Century Painting and Sculpture, New Subjectivity), and a visit of Haus der Kunst and Goldene Bar, where the National Socialist ideology was addressed in terms of the claim of world dominance and racial superiority by means of architecture and mapping.
