Description
Grock, known as the 'king of clowns', was among Europe's most famous entertainers in the first half of the 20th century. Now the Swiss clown is in the spotlight over his connections with Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. Investigating the links is the New Museum of Art and History in the Swiss town of Bienne, which recently acquired several items from the clown’s collection. Bernadette Walter, the museum’s art director and curator, says it is important to look into Grock’s story, “to not ignore our past, the past of our society”. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
