Bonn museum looks at Germans' view of the British

(4 Oct 2019) As Brexit looms, one of Germany's main history museums is examining Germans' views of the British, complete with a countdown clock that may be reset if Britain's departure from the European Union is delayed. The "Very British: A German Point of View" exhibition at Bonn's Haus der Geschichte features among other things a dress worn by Queen Elizabeth II during her visit to West Germany in 1965. Project manager Christian Peters said themes of the exhibition include "Britain's relationship with Europe; Germans' enthusiasm for the royal family; Britons' relationship with the past; their obsession, one must almost say, regarding World War II; and of course enthusiasm for British pop culture." The show addresses Germans' dismay at the 2016 Brexit vote, reflected in a carnival float depicting former Prime Minister Theresa May with a gun in her mouth labelled 'Brexit'. The exhibition runs until March 8.
