Coming soon! | Starting 11 October 2026

Beautiful and austere, playful and orderly, pop and political: ornaments shape our perception in many areas of life – including art. The exhibition invites visitors to an exciting journey of discovery into the world of patterns and repeats. At the same time, it analyses their function and significance: from classical modernism to the present day.



The multimedia guide to the exhibition is currently being developed.
The complete multimedia guide will be available at the start of the exhibition on 11 October 2026.

Our partner for digitisation is VORWERK.
