Humboldt Forum Museum, Berlin: in_finite. Living With Death

Humboldt Forum Museum in Berlin invites 7th graders and up to explore the theme of death through guided tours and workshops in their current exhibit in_finite. Living With Death (open until November 26, 2023). It poses questions about living with death, features multimedia installations, addresses global disparities in living and dying conditions, explores different religious views of the afterlife and more. The program includes discussions, consultations with experts, film nights, music performances, and a Mexican festival of the dead. Their workshops provide professional support for terminally ill children and their families and advanced training for educators. During their discussion events, you can talk directly to a terminal caregiver, a pathologist, a policewoman, or a funeral speaker. There is even a gallery where visitors can browse through a selection of novels, non-fiction, and children’s books with strong literary voices reflecting on dying, mourning, and death including Audre Lorde, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and many others.
