Draft of the temporary exhibition "Coloureds and Europeans in the Colonies" (1940)

As late as 1940, the German colonial territories were still a relevant issue in the museum’s exhibition planning, as shown by this draft for the special exhibition with the working title “Farbige und Europäer in den Kolonien” (Coloureds and Europeans in the colonies). The exhibition opened on 24 October 1941 under the title “Europäer und Eingeborene in tropischen Kolonialländern” (Europeans and natives in tropical colonial lands).
