With the new exhibition "The Story That Never Ends" ZKM | Karlsruhe provides a new insight into its own collection, which, with around 12,000 works, is one of the largest and most important media art collections in the world. Based on the presentation of iconic works and archive material from the ZKM’s holdings, the exhibition tells of the interwoven stories of art and technology since the 1950s, with particular focus on the restoration perspective. Visitors will also discover the challenges that ephemeral technological media pose for museums around the world.
We cordially invite you to the opening of the new exhibition!
