Ausstellung

The construction industry accounts for about 40 percent of the emissions responsible for climate change, and thus more than any other sector. It is therefore critically important to reduce as quickly as possible both the CO2 emissions and the energy inputs involved in the manufacture and operation of buildings.

Everyone knows Lego. But before the Danish company conquered the international market there were hundreds of firms that from about 1880 onwards produced a variety of construction kits. The DAM has the unique opportunity to draw on the private collection of architectural construction kits by graphic designer Claus Krieger to realize an exhibition that will break through the “glass barrier” that typically divides exhibits (for conservational reasons) from the visitors.

On the occasion of its 40th anniversary, the exhibition “Out of Storage” for the first time brings together all the archived materials that have become part of the DAM collection thanks to the efforts of the Society of Friends“.
