    What’s that for? Bust of Karl Marx

    The 217-kilogram marble bust of Karl Marx was designed by the Romanian artist Constantin Baraschi (1902–1966). As part of the exhibition “Karl Marx and Capitalism”, it raises questions about the reception of Karl Marx and the history of the Deutsches Historisches Museum. Michael Ilg, academic trainee and part of the exhibition team, tells us more about the bust.
