Abstract

How ‘permanent’ can the collections of German museums actually be? Experts are increasingly questioning the justifiability of the Western art canon, the interpretative sovereignty of a museum and its collection and exhibition policy. Within the increasing debate about colonial cultural assets, restitution in particular represents a threshold in the process of decolonising a museum, which is often not crossed for a variety of reasons.
