Blogerim

Since its relaunch in 2016, the JMB website itself has been magazine-like. For this reason, we now publish new articles, features, and online projects directly on the website. Take a look at our online showcase!

Selected entries from our museum blog are gradually being published on https://www.jmberlin.de/en, too. In this way, we hope to ensure that relevant, timeless entries are easier to find via the topics presented on our website.

For the time being, the entire blog with posts from 2012 to 2019 is still available here.
