Our Owl Is Pink

Colourful Stories

24 April 2026 – 1 January 2027

Colours make the world look bright. But do we all perceive and experience them in the same way? In a flight over the museum’s collection, our pink owl spotted a range of colourful objects and now tells their stories in the exhibition. Hands-on stations and a large studio invite viewers to discover colours with all their senses.

GOLD

Its Bright and Dark Sides

Christmas exhibition
20 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.
