Young people on the cusp of adulthood and older people who’ve lived a life have been invited to lend something to display at Museum Gunzenhauser – maybe something they’d be devastated to lose, something they’d like to get rid of, something they found and kept… Over three weeks, this evolving exhibition is animated by a live dialogue, as Quarantine ask the lenders a series of questions as starting points for conversations that are by turns complex, funny, familiar, extraordinary – and profoundly human. It’s an insight into what we hold on to; what we value and why, both individually and as a society.

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.
