Modern Times.
From the Time of Industrialisation to the Present
Opening of the permanent exhibition, Part II on 11 December
Old Town Hall, Markt 1, 04109 Leipzig
On 11 December 1911 the Museum of City History opened its first permanent exhibition covering both floors of the Old Town Hall. Exactly 100 years later, on 11 December 2011 the museum’s new permanent exhibition "Modern Times. Leipzig from the Time of Industrialisation to the Present" will be opened.
200 years of the city’s history – from the revolution of 1848/49 to the Peaceful Revolution of 1989 to the present, from industrialisation and the constant growth of the trade fair city to the devastating destruction during the Second World War, from the fight for social improvements to the ending of civilised life during the time of the Nazi regime – will be related using 1400 square metres of floor area.
