Special exhibition Work & Migration
Work & Migration
Stories of migration are stories from here. They are stories about our society, featuring objects that reveal personal perspectives. The narrative focus is on the world of work, which brings together and connects people. To exhibition collects facts and stories – to promote an open discussion about migration. It highlights how people living in the same country influence each other, thereby manifesting a shared narrative.
Special Exhibition Work & Migration
From 13 November 2021 to 19 June 2022
Daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Exhibition Migration in seven chapters
Homo Heidelbergensis as the first “migrant”. “Guest workers” as driving force behind Germany’s post-war economic recovery from 1955 onwards until today’s successful entrepreneurs with immigrant roots. Migration shapes the world, provides impetus for further development, and transforms countries to their advantage. This is the main claim of the exhibition, which also serves as space for discussion. Once a migrant, always a migrant – who are we? A room designed as a canteen invites visitors to engage in conversations.
