Abhängen statt aufhängen? – Museum spaces and the new ethics of communion Museums have long been more than places for exhibiting and showing works of art. With the beginning of the 21st century, they have increasingly become platforms for exchange, in which very unique forms of encounter have developed. This has also changed the demands on architecture. The lecture presents some examples from recent years that are exemplary for this development.
