KAUFHAUS SCHOCKEN CHEMNITZ Architecture and exhibition precisely staged

ARCHITECTURE AND EXHIBITION IN DIALOGUE

The exhibition follows a chronological timeline along the window front. Curved spatial zones and precisely integrated display cases create clear orientation for visitors. Extra-white safety glass and silver anodised aluminium frames make the exhibits appear to float. RGB-adjustable lighting and comprehensive climate control systems ensure optimal presentation and conservation conditions.
