Exhibition 'America' in Übersee-Museum
People and their personal stories are at the heart of “America”, an exhibition that is dedicated, first and foremost, to the American continents in the 21st century. Yet, in the fields of politics, business and culture or religion, the present-day differences between North and South America can hardly be understood without first explaining the background of the immigration waves that characterised America, particularly since 1492. For this reason “immigration” is the first of four major themes encountered by visitors – followed by “religion”, “politics & society” and “global trade”. They are accompanied by eight impressive video portraits, whose protagonists tell you about their wishes for the future at the end of the tour.
