Update of the image database "Architekturmuseum" (museum of architecture)

21 May 2024 | By: Corinna

Integrated in prometheus is the Image database ‘Architecture Museum’ of the Technical University of Berlin since 2008. A lot has happened and developed over the years, not only in the digitization of further drawings, prints and photographs or the link to the The Integrated Authority File (GND) of the German National Library.

It was definitely time for an update. Instead of 26,636, there are now 161,680 data records available for your research in the field of architectural history. Many of the works and digital copies are in the public domain and the TU Berlin is happy to receive an image credit.

We hope you enjoy your research.
