Exhibition: “Antike Welten”

The Berliner Antikensammlung is showing its newly conceived Greek art exhibition on the main floor of the Altes Museum. The exhibition features a room dedicated entirely to Greek coins and presenting, via a special exhibition display case, a Topoi project on numismatics. Excerpts from Angela Berthold’s post-doctoral research project “Spatial Representation on Greek Coins and Its Effect on Neighboring Coinage” (C-II Images) are presented here, thanks to generous support from the Berliner Münzkabinett.

Exhibition: Research and Concepts

How does one exhibit ancient spaces and knowledge regarding the shaping of ancient spaces in museums or in exhibitions? This is a central theme in Topoi, especially within research group E-CSG-IV “Museums”. In cooperation with the Berlin National Museums (SMB), this question was directly incorporated into the work of the museum, beginning with a historical survey of presentational forms in European museums since the 18th century. In cooperation with Fellows, concepts for new exhibitions and presentations have been and are being developed for the Museum of Islamic Art. The new arrangement of the Museum of Prehistory and Ancient History in the New Museum serves as an example in this case.
