KAUFHAUS SCHOCKEN CHEMNITZ Architecture and exhibition precisely staged

Projekte > SMAC

The listed Kaufhaus Schocken by Erich Mendelsohn now houses the State Museum of Archaeology Chemnitz. In the bay areas along the window front, precisely crafted display cases present historic exhibits in a clearly structured chronology.

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.
