Schau_Raum: Scheitern
26/03/2019 – 27/09/2019
Wildlife in the Centre of Conflict broaches the issue that the politics in the Middle East conflict is failing, but creates an unexpectedly 'positive' dimension for the local wildlife. Discussions about diverging artistic positions, like those in East Coast West Coast or the fight against stereotypical images in Mass of Images however, fail entirely.

Blue Sky Over Baden
4 May - 1 September 2019
Local scenes during the 19th century by Johann Martin Morat.

June 8th until February 2nd 2020

The reality, however, is different: the people are experiencing the ripple effects of colonialism as well as the consequences of global climate change. With objects from its ethnological and natural science collection, the Museum Natur und Mensch is presenting a complex portrait of the region, its inhabitants and its history.
