Prizewinning cartoons and press photographs are now entering a museum in Bonn (former capital of West Germany). “Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland” (House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany) is presenting the exhibition “Rückblende 2008″ initiated by the Landesvertretung Rheinland-Pfalz (state Rhineland-Palatinate) and the BDZV – Bundesverband Deutscher Zeitungsverleger ((German newspapers publisher’s association).

Haus der Geschichte, Willy-Brandt-Allee 14, 53113 Bonn, Germany
18/03/2009 – 19/04/2009 – Tuesday – Sunday 09:00h – 19:00h (free entry).

Rückblende 2008:

Best editorial cartoons and press photographs of the year 2008? 2008: Again a year to say good bye to good old days (as once 2001 after 9/11)! After a fine summer, the world tumbled into a historical disaster of crashing banks and financial systems – together with all hopes for a rising star: Barack Obama. The world on the brink and in radical change: divine times for cartoonists!
