Details

The secondhand market and our exhibitions have one thing in common: Both are a matter of negotiation. As in years past, we’ve invited experts to discuss the exhibition’s themes in depth. This time, we’ll be talking about, among other things, vampires in Styria, sects among insects, the origins of superstitions and omens, and the question: Who actually cares?

As always, the discussions first take place in the exhibition and then over a drink—thanks to the extended exhibition run, they are held weekly through November.
