Pictures Make People

A Museum Visit for People with Dementia and their Companions (in German)

Experience a cozy and inspiring afternoon in the Jewish Museum Berlin! On entry, we’ll invite you to have coffee and freshly baked challah. Challah (Hebrew for braided yeast bread) is eaten on Friday evening, which is when the Shabbat begins according to the Jewish calendar. 

While enjoying this culinary treat, we will get to know each other, handle some objects and share what Friday evening means for the participants, and which bread is the most delicious.

Afterwards, we will visit the exhibition room Pictures Make People and look at three paintings from the nineteenth century together. There, we will talk about “Chess in the Salon” and “Celebratingrespectively”.

On the topic of “Chess in the Salon”, we will plunge into the Berlin of the nineteenth century, learn about the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn and salon culture, and question the role of the game of chess. The paintings on the topic “Celebrating” allow us to dip into a private family celebration and an extravagant festival.

The exhibition visit will be enhanced with musical accents and the opportunity to handle physical objects. Seating will be made available in the exhibition.

The event is being held in cooperation with the Alzheimer Gesellschaft Berlin e.V.
