Summary[edit]

Description
English: Blurred copy of photo of 'The Viking Ship' (German: Das Wikigerschiff) published in Die Kunst im Dritten Reich, taken during the "Day of German Art" (Tag der deutschen Kunst) celebration on July 16-18, 1937 in Munich, Germany.
  • The colourized photo shows a gilded model of the Norwegian Oseberg Viking ship, which was featured in a pompous Nazi propaganda procession known as the "Pageant '2000 Years of German Culture'" (Festzug '2000 Jahre deutscher Kultur'), as part of the 'German Art Days' that marked the opening of the "Great German Art Exhibition" (Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung).
    • The ship is mounted on a wheeled carriage drawn by horses, and the shields along the sides of the hull are decorated with round swastikas.
    • The "Germanic" Vikings have bare chests and horse skulls on long poles. The men, horses, and carriage are draped in blue textiles.
    • In the background, historic buildings on Ludwigstraße can be seen decorated with red banners featuring the Third Reich's swastika eagle and a gilded equestrian statue.
  • "The Day of German Art" (German: Tag der Deutschen Kunst) was a festive celebration that, among other things, included a theatrical and pompous procession featuring Nazi symbolism and historical clichés. The grandiose parade was organized by the Nazi regime, a regime notorious for its glorification of violence, ultra-nationalism, racism, and anti-democratic beliefs.
From 1937 to 1939, Munich hosted the "Day of German Art" each year, which marked the opening of the Great German Art Exhibition (Große Deutsche Kunstausstellung). This exhibition continued annually until 1944.
"The Day of German Art" was first associated with the laying of the cornerstone for the House of German Art (Haus der Deutschen Kunst) on October 15, 1933. The event was held again in 1937, during the weekend of July 16-18, when the building was completed and was meant to be an annual event from then on. It was held again in 1938, from July 8th to 10th, and in 1939, from July 14th to 16th, which marked the last year of the festivities and the self-glorifying pageant due to the onset of the Second World War.
