A jubilee afternoon full of history, memory, and conversation
The Silver Salon at the Potsdam Museum looks on October 14, 2026, at an extraordinary chapter in Potsdam's city history: 200 years of Alexandrowka. In the historic center of Potsdam, lectures, encounters, and the museum atmosphere converge on a topic that still fascinates today - the Russian colony as a UNESCO World Heritage site, a place of remembrance, and a vibrant part of the city.

History that becomes tangible in the space
Alexandrowka represents a special connection between Prussia and Russia. The colony was established in 1826 as an expression of this friendship and continues to shape Potsdam to this day with its wooden houses, gardens, and distinctive character. For those interested in urban history, monument preservation, and cultural identity, this is not a dry archival theme but a powerful event experience with real contemporary relevance.

Silver Salon: A culture of conversation with depth
The Silver Salon series has been a regular appointment for culture-interested guests aged 60 and above for years, but remains open to all generations in content. The Potsdam Museum combines expertise, exchange, and a pleasant audience atmosphere into a format that consciously takes time for context and conversation. This is precisely what makes the appeal of this afternoon: first listening, then asking questions, and then reflecting further in the historical setting.
