Więcej o książce

This annual volume includes the President's report and the mandatory annual chronicle, along with numerous lengthy essays addressing significant events and issues from the past year. It highlights key themes in the foundation's work, particularly the renovation of the Bodemuseum, which coincides with the centenary celebration of the Münzkabinett, set to reopen with a festive event at the museum. Another essay discusses the restoration plan for the New Museum by David Chipperfield Architects. The volume also covers notable artworks on Museum Island, such as the Pergamon Altar and the Market Gate of Miletus. Additionally, it focuses on Schloss Köpenick, which reopened in 2004 as a branch of the Kunstgewerbemuseum, with a new concept as a "Museum of Spatial Art from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo." Furthermore, a pioneering initiative began to create a virtual archive for the approximately 5,000-year-old Sumerian clay tablets from the Vorderasiatisches Museum, evolving from a pilot project into an internationally recognized endeavor.
