*** We are looking for your moving boxes ***

Do you still have the boxes you last moved house with? What does it say on them? “Chemnitz”? “Bedroom”? “Miscellaneous pots and pans”?  Are they empty now?  Or still waiting to be unpacked?

We’d like you to lend us your empty moving boxes for the duration of the exhibition. We want boxes that have the history of their journeys written on them. You can bring them into Museum Gunzenhauser from Friday 7 – Friday 14 November between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.  Let us know how many you’ll bring and when you arrive by contacting leo@qtine.com. We’ll log each box and where it’s been in a public archive. The installation of boxes will form an invitation to visit to arrange and re-arrange them in ever-changing constellations – shaping walls, pyramids, cities – whatever you choose….

Moving Boxes – a participatory installation: 15 Nov. 2025 – 28 Jan. 2026

You can find further dates in our calendar of events.

The Questions at Museum Gunzenhauser is part of the museum’s exhibition programme Best of II: Visitors’ Choice, running from 20 September 2025 – 18 January 2026.
