20. Artikel der Menschenrechte
20. Artikel der Menschenrechte is an outdoor sculpture in Nuremberg, between the Germanisches Nationalmuseum and the medieval city wall. Dani Karavan arranged white concrete pillars along an axis connecting Kornmarkt Street with a historic city gate. Their inscriptions present articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and other languages. A north gate mirrors the medieval gateway at the opposite end of the street.
The work emerged from a design competition organised by the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Its surroundings bring together monastery remains, the medieval wall, post-war buildings by Sep Ruf, and a glass entrance designed by ME DI UM. The installation reflects Nuremberg’s effort to confront its Nazi-era past and present itself as a city of peace and human rights. The site also hosts the Nuremberg International Human Rights Award every two years.
White concrete meets old masonry throughout the passage. A columnar oak forms part of the sculptural line beside the engraved pillars.
