WORST EXHIBITION IN THE WORLD: DEGENERATE ART 1937 (HB)

The Nazi exhibition of ‘Degenerate Art’ in 1937 was meant to show all that had gone wrong with Germany. Yet it was, ironically, one of the first great retrospectives of modern European art. More than a million people flocked to the show to catch a glimpse of the insane, the criminal, the Jewish and the Bolshevist. John-Paul Stonard leads a tour of the crowded vaults of the Hofgarten arcade to discover and demonstrate how the ‘worst’ that Germany had to offer made one of the most fascinating shows of all time.
