Munich during the coronavirus outbreak

The Münchner Stadtmuseum has decided to compile a historical record of Munich during the coronavirus outbreak by collecting items that reveal how the city has changed. We need your help in collecting all kinds of objects that we can use to document the pandemic and its impact on everyday life. We are looking for photographs, videos and written materials that illustrate these changes to our lives, for example restaurant closure notices, public health and behavior guidelines, and flyers. We are also interested in personal mementos and everyday objects, face masks, notices, diaries or items of clothing that you have found particularly significant or life changing during the crisis. We are not only interested in items from private individuals, but also in objects and documents that can tell us what different clubs, associations, centers, initiatives and networks have been doing in Munich during the pandemic.

We want to hear your story and get your impressions about how the city is changing. We hope to feature some of your contributions in our collection. Please contact us by e-mail and drop us a line at corona.stadtmuseum(at)muenchen.de. Feel free to include photos and further details about your particular find or contribution.
