GOLD

Its Bright and Dark Sides

19 November 2026 – 21 March 2027

Winter exhibition

Gold brings a glitter to festive occasions, embellishes precious items, and stands for holiness. But where there’s light, there’s also shadow. The mining of this precious metal leaves deep scars across the entire world – ecologically, socially, and politically. Golden splendour meets critical perspectives, pieces of gold from the museum’s collections encounter the voices of those affected by gold mining.

The result is a poetic and critical exploration of a material that has been shining – and casting shadows – for centuries.
