Haus der Kunst opened its Historical Archive in 2005. A wealth of documents and other materials has been available to the public ever since. These materials provide insight into the institutions development and exhibition business since the 1930s.
The Archive contains important source material for research related to art and contemporary history. The information contained in accounting records of “Haus der Deutschen Kunst”, was made accessible on the online database www.gdk-research.de.
