Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

  • Stanley Kubrick

Stanley Kubrick’s satire *Dr. Strangelove* is an analysis of the Cold War’s military-nuclear dynamics and has taken on new relevance in light of today’s geopolitical tensions. At the centre of it all is the War Room, designed by Ken Adam, whose design emphasises the absurd detachment of the seat of power from reality.

Introduction by Lea Wohl von Haselberg in German.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the opening of The Libeskind building, this year’s collaboration with the Jewish Museum Berlin focuses on the theme of architecture. We present two Berlin-born production designers – Heinz Fenchel (1906–1988) and Ken Adam (1921–2016) – and explore their strikingly different bodies of work.
