On display until 10.09.2023:
Black and white. Prussia and colonialism
A cooperation project with students from Bielefeld University
The exhibition sheds light on the involvement of Prussia and the German Empire in colonialism and its consequences - both in the colonized territories and locally in OWL, both historically and currently. What does colonialism have to do with us and our diverse society? How and where is it remembered? The exhibition calls on us to confront the complexity of the topic: with all the shades of gray that can be found between black and white.

Book your exhibition tour for one of the thematic focuses
- Colonial Minden
- Colonial violence
- Trade links
Or book your city tour "Colonial Minden"
The "Colonial Minden" tour is based on the exhibition "Black and white. Prussia and Colonialism" and visits the places in Minden that are linked to the exhibits and stories in the exhibition. In this way, previously undiscovered traces and references to colonialism in the cityscape are made visible. The "Colonial Minden" exhibition tour is thus relocated to the city, so to speak.
Please contact our visitors' office to register for the tours or if you have any questions about our wide range of educational offers:
