Now That’s En­lightened!

Long Night of Muse­ums 2022

It's fi­nally happe­ning again - the Long Night of Muse­ums! And the Je­wish Muse­um Ber­lin is also ope­ning its doors, provi­ding a night full of illu­mi­nating mo­ments and sur­pri­sing rays of hope for enlighten­ment – entire­ly in the spi­rit of the current exhi­bition about the Jew­ish philo­sopher Mo­ses Men­delssohn.

How enlighten­ed are we to­day? We in­vite you to a mu­sical Enlighten­ment-style salon with author and mode­rator Marion Brasch and exci­ting guests who will talk about fake news, conspi­racy theo­ries and ru­mors, as well as per­sonal to­pics. The cura­tors of the Men­delssohn exhi­bi­tion will also be on hand to pro­vide in­sights into the de­bates of the eigh­teenth cen­tury, and the mu­seum café will intro­duce Fromet Men­delssohn in her role as hos­tess with special­ties and drinks from that time. DJ of the evening is the Ukrainian artist and musician Nikolay Karabinovych, whose experimental work investigates the intercultural archives of memory in Eastern Europe through sound, text and performance.
