The exhibition "GERECHT? Stories about social inequalities", which was previously on display at Tyrolean Folk Art Museum in Innsbruck, can be seen at Museum Aguntum from 1 May to 4 October 2026 under the motto "Tiroler Landesmuseen unterwegs".
Using 34 objects, the exhibition is dedicated to controversial questions about equal rights, overcoming crises and the associated social changes. On display are a precious Ethiopian coat from the Villa Freischütz in Merano, a self-portrait of the Jewish artist Hilde Goldschmidt, as well as everyday objects such as a Kraxe or stove tiles. As different as these objects may be in terms of their use and origin, they are united by their impressive stories, which have been brought to light thanks to the curators' research work. Three of the exhibits come from East Tyrol and thus also provide direct insights into the realities of local life. They exemplify how closely major social issues are linked to concrete regional experiences.
The exhibition was created as a collaboration between the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum and the Tyrolean Museums Association (tiMus) on the occasion of the Euregio Museum Year 2025 "See further". Starting with the Peasants' Revolt of 1525 under the leadership of Michael Gaismair, the exhibition focussed on questions of social justice, forms of resistance and dealing with crises. As a broad-based co-operation project, the exhibition brings together 34 museums and collections from the European region of Tyrol - South Tyrol - Trentino, each of which has contributed an object.
