Das Erbe der Kinder | The Children’s Heritage

The European museums and archives landscape provides rich collections of children's and youth drawings from different sections of the 19th and 20th centuries: A heritage of the children from war and peace periods. Who took the initiative to collect drawings from adolescents and then hand them over to museums and archives for safekeeping? Numerous European collections have emerged from an international exchange and private donations. This international publication tells these “transfer-stories” and presents important and lesser-known collections, and their provenance history.
