Photographic Time Travels for Parents with Baby in Potsdam
On October 10, 2026, the Brandenburg Museum for Future, Present and History invites you to a special evening tour with baby through the exhibition "Oh, Brandenburg... Photography in Dialogue 1996 | 2026". The 45-minute tour is aimed at parents with babies and strollers and combines cultural education with a relaxed art experience in a family-friendly atmosphere.
Photography as Cultural Memory
At the center of the exhibition is the documentary photographic project "Photography and Memory", which was created between 1993 and 1996 under the direction of Diethart Kerbs and Sophie Schleußner. More than 22,000 historical images preserve impressions of East German places and landscapes from the time after German reunification.
The exhibition opens this photographic time capsule and contrasts historical images with current rephotographs. Students from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam revisited previous shooting locations, compared perspectives and developed free photographic works from their encounters on site.
Viewing Works between Past and Present
The juxtaposition of black-and-white images, historical documentary photographs, and contemporary perspectives makes societal change visible. Landscapes, villages, transport routes, and working worlds appear as traces of a dynamic era. Each pairing of images tells of change, continuity, memory, and the subjective view of photography.
The exhibition understands photography not only as a means of documentation but as a visual form of cultural memory. In the calm exhibition atmosphere, space is created for aesthetic experience, concentrated image perception, and personal conversations about origin, change, and belonging.
An Inclusive Art Experience for Families
The evening tour offers parents with babies and strollers the opportunity to experience contemporary photography without the pressure of a traditional museum visit. The exclusive tour as part of Family Night 2026 creates an accessible framework for young families and combines museum pedagogy with a sensory viewing of works.
The focus is on photographic image comparisons, the curatorial concept, and the question of how images shape our remembering. Colors, shapes, spatial effects, and documentary details unfold their effect in the dialogue between generations.
Conclusion: An Evening for New Perspectives on Brandenburg
The evening tour with baby makes the exhibition a special family experience: historically grounded, visually impressive, and open to personal perspectives. Those who want to discover photography as a mirror of societal change and as a living cultural memory should definitely experience this family-friendly tour at the Brandenburg Museum live.
