The Schifflersgrund Border Museum is taking part in the International Museum Day on Sunday, May 18, 2025 under the motto “Discover museums with joy”. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., there will be guided tours of the outdoor area with original preserved GDR barriers and through the redesigned permanent exhibition with numerous exhibits, pictures and media stations.
There is also the opportunity to visit the current special exhibition “Women in Divided Germany”. The aim of the exhibition is to make the diverse experiences of women visible and to show the similarities and differences between the realities of life in the two German states. At the same time, the exhibition raises the question of whether women in both German states were united by a common striving for self-determination in a male-dominated system, despite the different political and social conditions.
On the occasion of International Museum Day, reduced admission prices apply and participation in the two special public tours is free of charge. The museum is open as usual from 10 am to 5 pm.
A cordial invitation!
