A curtain for shielding an electromagnetic field may include a plurality of strip elements. A first strip element and a second strip element of the plurality of strip elements may have an electrically conductive layer. In a shielding configuration of the curtain, the electrically conductive layer of the first strip element is electrically connected to the electrically conductive layer of the second strip element and/or to an electrical connecting terminal for a reference potential. The plurality of strip elements can be variably positioned against one another.
