The museum’s outstanding maritime collection comes to the fore in Life~Boat, an exhibition exploring humankind’s enduring fascination with boats and the sea.
This remarkable multi-media show is guest-curated by Berlin-based artists Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock and includes paintings, drawings, maps, ship models, posters, photography, video and historical pieces that create a highly engaging journey into the connecting power of water. Video installations of three iconic paintings—Watteau’s Embarkation for Cythera, Gericault’s The Raft of the Medusa, and Leutze’s George Washingon Crossing the Delaware—provide the themes of the exhibition, evoking concepts of utopia, conquest, survival and identity.
