After-Work Tour of the Exhibition „ÜBERSEeHEN“: Viewing Duisburg Anew
On Friday, May 29, 2026, the Cultural and City History Museum Duisburg will open a view into two centuries of city history. During the after-work tour of the exhibition „ÜBERSEeHEN“, Miriam Monsemvula and Marie Vetter will guide guests through an intense exploration of Duisburg's (post)colonial entanglements, historical continuities, and current questions of memory culture.
An Artistic Experience Between City History and Memory Culture
The exhibition links historical research with a sensitive, contemporary curation. The focus is not merely on recounting past events but on making visible the connections that reverberate in the city to this day. This creates an exhibition atmosphere where the contemplation of works, historical sources, and critical contemporary perspectives interweave.
Reading Traces, Understanding History
„ÜBERSEeHEN“ invites you to perceive Duisburg from an expanded perspective. The exhibition traces colonial and postcolonial patterns of thought and action, reveals historical contexts within the urban space, and opens up an aesthetic experience that combines knowledge, irritation, and insight. Especially in the evening tour, this approach gains intensity: the museum visit becomes a concentrated conversation about city, power, and memory.
A Museum as a Place of Cultural Education
The Cultural and City History Museum is known for its well-founded educational work. The institution recounts Duisburg's history from the Stone Age to the industrial metropolis and supplements this with special exhibitions that address societal debates. For visitors, this creates a museum visit that not only informs but also enables cultural education in the best sense.
What Makes This Tour Special
The after-work tour is aimed at anyone who wants to deepen historical contexts and experience exhibitions with expert guidance. The combination of scientific contextualization, local anchoring, and vivid communication makes the evening a lively artistic experience. Those interested in memory culture, city history, and current perspectives on colonial heritage will find an exceptionally stimulating approach here.
Conclusion: This tour opens up Duisburg as a place of historical complexity and critical present. A visit is worthwhile for all who want to not only see the exhibition, museum, and city history but truly understand it. Take the opportunity for an inspiring contemplation of works and themes on site.
