Must-have

History, present, future of consumption

The exhibition takes a look at the development of consumption from pre-industrial times to the immediate present and raises questions about the future. Visitors are invited to question their own consumption behavior: Does living today mean consuming? What can I learn from the people of 200 years ago?

18.6.2023 - 22.12.2024, Papermill Alte Dombach, Bergisch Gladbach

Class and mass - Plastics design in everyday life

It is impossible to imagine our everyday life without plastics. Inseparably linked with industrial mass production, they accompany technical developments and open up unimagined design possibilities. Whether Volksempfänger, Trabant, Panton chair, Bobby Car or iMac: plastic products have become part of our collective memory and have found their way into the museum.

The Participation-Machine

An exhibition for everyone from 5 years

The Participation machine is a wonderful, chaotic system of belts, wheels and drive rods. It is a large walk-in play, art and technology machine that produces nothing, but offers a lot: for the eye, for the ear, for touch, for the desire to move and for the mind. The special feature: Every child tinkers, builds and designs on the machine! A variety of materials are available in workshops.

Raids for Fashion

Of luxury, pleasure and suffering. 1800 until today

The exhibition shows original pieces of clothing and accessories made of animal materials, such as fur, feathers, pearls, mother-of-pearl and ray skin, as well as pictures and film clips from the period. Interactive stations give the opportunity to experience and explore the materials sensually. The exhibition is complemented by a presentation of paintings by the Berlin artist Oliver Mark from the series "Natura Morta".

5.3.2023 - 7.1.2024, Tuchfabrik Müller, Euskirchen

Probiert? Kapiert!

The new hands-on exhibition for children and young people.

Here, visitors actively take on technical challenges that already had to be solved in the former factories: How can heavy materials be transported, how can large machines be driven for production? What are the prerequisites for successful cooperation? Everything is tried out in the very own way - and understood!

31.03.2023 - 22.10.2023, Ermen & Engels Power Station, Engelskirchen
