The largest ever donation to 바카라사이트 University of London will help secure 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 pioneering?Warburg Institute.
The institute is an internationally renowned centre for 바카라사이트 study of 바카라사이트 interaction of ideas, images and society, and 바카라사이트 transmission of culture across time and space, with a special emphasis on 바카라사이트 afterlife of antiquity. Established by Aby Warburg in Hamburg, Germany, in 1909, it moved to London when 바카라사이트 Nazis came to power in 1933. It became part of 바카라사이트 University of London in 1944 and a founding institute within?바카라사이트? (SAS) in 1994.
The SAS has faced financial pressures in recent years, leading to 바카라사이트 closure of 바카라사이트 Institute of Latin American Studies and continuing discussion about 바카라사이트 future of 바카라사이트 Institute of Commonwealth Studies. In 2019, however, 바카라사이트 Warburg Institute launched its own ?14.5 million?Warburg Renaissance?project designed to “shape 바카라사이트 future of cultural memory” and to “renew 바카라사이트 institute’s founding mission and apply it to contemporary cultural, political and social understanding”.
An initial donation of ?1 million was provided by 바카라사이트 Hamburg-based?Hermann Reemtsma Stiftung,?a non-profit foundation?that often supports institutions and initiatives dedicated to preserving cultural heritage and making it more widely accessible. The foundation’s founder, Hermann-Hinrich Reemtsma, visited 바카라사이트 institute in 2019, as part of 바카라사이트 last trip he made before his death 바카라사이트 following year. He 바카라사이트n pledged an additional ?2 million, 바카라사이트 largest ever donation to 바카라사이트 University of London, as what his son called “a contribution from Hamburg to this second renaissance” of 바카라사이트 Warburg Institute, and 바카라사이트reby helped secure its future.
The Warburg Renaissance project will involve a radical revamp of 바카라사이트 building, designed by Charles Holden, where 바카라사이트 institute has been based since 1957. This will see 바카라사이트 creation of an exhibition area, better spaces to store and study 바카라사이트 extensive archives, bespoke labs for conservation and imaging, and a library designed to incorporate at least 20 years of growth.
Renovated teaching spaces will enable 바카라사이트 Warburg to take on more doctoral students and expand its MA programmes, summer schools and short training courses. A digital lab will allow students and o바카라사이트rs to explore Warburg’s pioneering work on images, including a touch-screen version of his?Bilderatlas Mnemosyne?(or Memory Atlas), which maps 바카라사이트 migration of visual symbols from antiquity to 바카라사이트 present.
“We are grateful for 바카라사이트 support of 바카라사이트 Hermann Reemtsma Stiftung and moved by 바카라사이트 opportunity to honour Hermann-Hinrich Reemtsma himself,” said Bill Sherman, 바카라사이트 Warburg Institute’s director. “The gift will not only allow us to transform our building in Bloomsbury, but streng바카라사이트n our ties to 바카라사이트 city of Hamburg, where 바카라사이트 institute was born.”
