Vietnam and Lower Lausitz: An exhibition about migration, memory, and new connections

At the City Museum Cottbus, the Vietnam and Lower Lausitz – Connected Worlds opens an artistic experience that goes far beyond a classic exhibition. The show tells of migration, work, culture, and community and traces the paths of Vietnamese people in Lower Lausitz – between arrival, staying, and building new life worlds. The exhibition is part of Connecting Worlds – Cultural Land Brandenburg 2024/2025 and runs at the museum until September 2026.

A dense web of relationships emerges between two regions

The curation focuses on historical depth and contemporary society at the same time. At the center is the Vietnamese migration to the GDR and its effects on Lower Lausitz: work as a basis for existence, change as a biographical experience, community as a cultural practice. The City Museum frames this story as a narrative of strangeness and familiarity, of adaptation and self-assertion.

A museum as a place of cultural education

The City Museum Cottbus sees itself as a place of urban and regional history with collections on cultural history, archaeology, biology, and the economic development of Cottbus. Its educational work includes offerings for kindergartens and school classes; guided tours and educational formats are also part of the institution. This exhibition ideally fits into the profile of an institution that not only preserves history but also conveys it dialogically.

Atmosphere, space, and aesthetic experience

Those who visit this exhibition do not experience an abstract theory but a space of closeness: biographies, social upheavals, and cultural entanglements enter into a silent, contemplative dialogue. It is precisely the connection between regional history and a transnational perspective that creates a special exhibition atmosphere – concentrated, reflective, and human.

Conveyance and deepening access

Even the accompanying offerings show how strongly the theme is rooted in the museum. For the special exhibition, thematic guided tours have been announced; in a special tour, curator Paul Fröhlich guides through the exhibition. The visit is therefore suitable not only for those interested in cultural history but also for visitors who wish to rediscover political and social contexts in the museum.
