A suitcase as a vehicle

A suitcase raises questions about taking things with you, leaving things behind and being on the move. Look at how the museum uses such objects in the display and what context is given for individual stories.

Images side by side

The art and photography offer different perspectives on the subject. Take time to read who or what is shown, so that a familiar image also keeps its specific meaning.

The Tornado

The twisting staircase by MAD Architects is a striking part of the building. Check the available route to the roof terrace and the entry conditions for your visit.
