In the heart of Braunschweig, Germany, the Old Town Hall will be hosting a special exhibition on September 21, 2025. The exhibition, titled "Fire and Flame", commemorates the 150th Anniversary of the Professional Fire Brigade of Braunschweig.

The exhibition offers an opportunity to delve into the rich history of the city's firefighting services, with more information available under the "Preview" section.

While the Zürich Declaration, a statement addressing ethical issues in museum work, does not provide specific details about the commemoration or the "Fire and Flame" exhibition, it is worth noting that the Municipal Museum of Braunschweig is one of the Ethnological Museums involved in this declaration.

The Zürich Declaration, accessible online at https://www.zuerchererklaerung.ch/en/, primarily focuses on questions of provenance history and objects with colonial historical burdens.

As for the "Fire and Flame" exhibition, visitors can expect to find it in the Old Town Hall, with the opening time set for 11:20 AM. However, further details about the content or purpose of the exhibition have not been disclosed.

It is also interesting to note that directors of Ethnological Museums in the German-speaking region, including the Municipal Museum of Braunschweig, have published a joint declaration on ethical principles of museum work. The current director of the Ethnological Collection at the Niedersächsisches Landesmuseum Hannover, Katja Lembke, has been in this position since 2011.

For more information about the "Fire and Flame" exhibition, please refer to the "Preview" section or visit the Museum in the Old Town Hall on September 21, 2025.
