Regional Studies: a Shared Responsibility

Running until the end of February 2022, an exhibition in the Museum of the University of Bonn is marking the foundation of the Institut für geschichtliche Landeskunde der Rheinlande, the institute for historical and cultural studies of the Rhineland, 100 years ago. “Region als gemeinsame Aufgabe” (“Regional Studies: a Shared Responsibility”) tells the story of the institute, from its founding and dissolution through to its modern-day successors, and pays tribute to local and regional history associations. Drawings by Anna Thinius provide a visual illustration of key aspects. Venue: Museum of the University of Bonn, Wednesday to Saturday, 12 noon to 4:30 pm. Free admission.
