Remembrance of the Pandemic: The Ruhr Museum Collects Objects and Stories from the Corona Era

The Ruhr Museum has embarked on an unprecedented effort to collect objects and stories from people during the Corona pandemic. This project helps document contemporary history and human experiences in times of crisis.

The Corona pandemic not only transformed our lives but also encapsulated numerous memories and experiences. Now, the Ruhr Museum has stepped in with the aim of collecting these mementos and stories. This project not only aids in documenting contemporary history but also provides an opportunity to recount human narratives in the face of great challenges.

Collecting Objects and Narratives

From face masks to personal letters and family photos, the Ruhr Museum is in search of objects and stories that represent the daily lives of people during quarantine and restrictions. These items are regarded not only as historical mementos but also as symbols of resilience and hope in the face of crises.

This project is, in a way, a public invitation; an invitation for all members of the community to share their stories and become part of the history of this era. The Ruhr Museum hopes that by gathering these narratives, it can present a clear picture of the Corona period and its impacts on human lives.
