To mark the 150th birthday of the cultural scientist Aby Warburg (1866–1929), the ZKM exhibited a complete reconstruction of his Mnemosyne picture atlas in its original size. Warburg developed this comprehen­sive and unusual instrument in his last years. All 63 panels were presented for the first time with a detailed commentary, combining the findings from Warburg’s writings with an analysis of his visual language.
