Opening

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 or 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. History shows that social security and legal norms were by no means characterised by justice for all for a long time – this still has an impact today.

The exhibition was created on the occasion of the Euregio Museum Year “See further”. In cooperation between the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum and the Tyrolean Museum Association (tiMus), it is conceived as a participatory project in which 34 museums from Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino are each involved with one object.
