JUST?

Do you have a say? Can you afford every medicine? Are you paid fairly? Using historical everyday objects from Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino, including a charred piece of wood, a water closet, exercise books and a border board, the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum explores a variety of stories about social inequalities, crisis management and social change.

Visitors are invited to take a critical look at the realities of life in the past and engage with controversial social issues of the present. What is just and who determines this justice is often linked to power, social and ethical responsibility, but above all to the ability to be aware of one's own actions and to be able to articulate this. For a long time, social security and legal norms were by no means characterised by justice for all - this still has an impact today. The exhibition was created on the occasion of the Euregio Museum Year "Seeing further", in co-operation between the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum and the Tyrolean Museum Association.
