The History of Antisemitism: The Degenerate Art Exhibition

In 1937, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels organized the "Entartete Kunst" or "Degenerate Art" Exhibition at the Archeological Institute in Munich. The exhibition displayed works of modern art that the Nazis declared to be "degenerate" or unacceptable. While the intent of the exhibition was to disparage the so called "degenerate" artworks, it featured many artists who would go on to become internationally recognized.

 

Join the Museum for a panel discussion about the history and lasting impact of the Degenerate Art Exhibition with Dr. Lucy Wasensteiner, Dr. Uwe Fleckner, and Dr. Bernhard Fulda. They will be in conversation with Dr. Paul Jaskot.
