Exhibition "Bureaucracy and Cult" in Munich
From October 19th until February 4th the Central Institute for Art History ("Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte") in Munich will show the exhibition "Bürokratie und Kult. Eine Photodokumentation. Das Parteizentrum der NSDAP am Königsplatz in München" (Bureaucracy and Cult. A Photodocumentation. The Headquarter of the National Socialist Party at the Königsplatz in Munich). Since 1948 the Central Institute for Art History is located in the former administration building of the NSDAP. This building was the first important architectural project of the National Socialists in Germany. It is the very same location where immediately after the war the American military government established the first Central Collecting Point for art works. The exhibition uses unpublished photo and archival material and shows the history of the building until today. (See bibliography)
