Towards a New Core Exhibition: Raphael Gross and Julia Voss in Conversation
26 May 2026 15 Min.
The Deutsches Historisches Museum is preparing a new core exhibition to be housed in its historic Zeughaus building. A special film series offers a behind-the-scenes look at this ambitious, multi-year project.
The series opens with a conversation between Raphael Gross, president of the Deutsches Historisches Museum, and Julia Voss, curator and research associate at the DHM. Together, they explore the site’s complex history, the value of historical perspective in times of crisis, and how the exhibition addresses decisive moments in German history, including times of rupture and change. They also reflect on the particular appeal of original objects in the digital age. Discussing the curatorial concept, issues of inclusion and accessibility, and the exhibition team’s work, Gross and Voss show how a new, layered account of German history is taking shape.
