GOLD

Its Bright and Dark Sides

Christmas exhibition
19 November 2026 – 10 January 2027

Gold brings a glitter to Christmas trees and precious items. But where there’s light, there’s also shadow. The mining of this precious metal leaves deep scars across the entire world. Pieces of gold from the museum’s collections encounter the voices of those affected by gold mining, offering a new perspective on this special colour.
