Werkbundarchiv - Museum of Things

Salt and pepper shakers in the shape of a woman's bust, trainers with the portrait of Obama or a rubber duck that needs to be strangled stand here side by side with design classics like the Panton Chair, the record player "SK 61" by Braun or the Frankfurt Kitchen - the world's first built-in kitchen.

Remark

Caretaker for the exhibits, the so-called "Dingpfleger", are wanted. The caretaker treaty for example for a canned fish "Budapester Feuer", the piggy bank "Goldi" or a bottle of Club Cola starts with an annual contribution of around 20,00 euro. A prominent caretaker is TV presenter Jörg Thadeusz. Every second Friday of the month between 1:00 - 2:00 pm, there is consultation hour: visitors can have an item examined whether it is art or clatter. Sundays between 3:00 - 5:00 pm the so-called explainers will teach you something about the exhibits free of charge.
