Press invitation

New special exhibition
Beethoven and Kant: Genius - Republic - Freedom
9 September 2024 until 6 January 2025

This year not only marks the anniversary of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, but also the 300th birthday of one of the most important thinkers in the history of philosophy: Immanuel Kant. To mark the occasion, the Beethoven-Haus will be showing a special exhibition from 9 September as part of the 14th International Kant Congress, which is taking place in Bonn this year, which looks at parallels in the thinking and work of Beethoven and Kant. The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with the Institute of Philosophy at the University of Bonn.

We would like to introduce you to the new special exhibition and cordially invite you to a 

Press conference 
on Sunday, 8 September, at 10 a.m.
in the special exhibition room of the museum, Bonngasse 20.

The director of the Beethoven-Haus, Malte Boecker, will welcome you. Museum director Dr Nicole Kämpken and curator Dr Julia Ronge from the Beethoven-Haus will guide you through the exhibition together with Prof Dr Rainer Schäfer (Chair of Classical German Philosophy at the University of Bonn). 

This will be followed by the official opening of the special exhibition in the Chamber Music Hall at 11 am. You are also cordially invited to attend.

We look forward to welcoming you to the press conference. 
Film crews and photographers are also very welcome. 

Please register informally by e-mail by 4 September for the press conference and also for the exhibition opening.
