Discover the Japanisches Palais with all your senses Projects to overcome our barriers
By making it easier to access our cultural heritage, the Japanisches Palais (Japanese Palace) is helping to promote democracy. Barrier-free access fosters diversity by promoting a variety of perspectives and experiences and sensitising people to a wide range of topics. Katharina Parow presents some of our inclusion programmes.
Palais garden #2 - Aphids, ants and ladybirds
If you happened to sit under the hop-draped pergola in the garden of the Japanisches Palais in May or June, you may well have been surprised by how sticky the leaves were. If you looked more closely, you will have spotted hundreds of minute black insects clinging to the plant stems or the undersides of the leaves: aphids.
Winter at the Palais Garden #1 - The Worm Compost
While migratory birds spend their vacations under palm trees and others completely avoid being awake during the cold season, the in-house worms of the Palais Garden are already preparing for spring.
WPC Academy "Lessons Learned? Transcultural Perspectives in Curating and Pedagogies"
How is what we commonly call "global" being shaped, and what part do museums actually play in this process? The term "worlding" is used to describe the ongoing formation and reshaping of the global as a multi-perspective process in which a wide variety of regional positions are involved. This summer, a conference titled "Worlding Public Cultures: The Arts and Social Innovation (WPC)" took place at the Japanisches Palais, which dealt with the museum contributions to the globalization process as understood according to this concept.
