Museum of daily life

MAIN EXHIBITION, PERMANENT

Daily and special events define the rhythm of our lives. The very first baby pictures, games on the playground, the annual summer holidays, saying goodbye to a loved one. How we deal with these moments and emotions evolves over time, is at once personal and universal.
