Air. One for All

A Journey Through the Invisible World of Air

The special exhibition Air. One for All at the German Hygiene Museum Dresden explores an invisible yet omnipresent element: air. The exhibition guides visitors through the fascinating movements of air across different geological eras, ecosystems, and national boundaries. Artworks and interactive stations address both the physical properties of air and its effects on society and the environment. Highlights such as an “Air Archive” and an “Emissions Memory” encourage reflection and participation.

Highlights and Activities

Special exhibits include the Air Archive, a collection of personal air perceptions, and the Fog Catchers, which visually illustrate air movements. A massive air conditioning duct demonstrates humanity’s attempt to control air. Interactive stations, such as the Emissions Memory, make the complex dimensions of CO₂ emissions tangible. In the Air Lab, visitors can engage in chemical experiments. Additionally, guided tours, workshops, and lectures will address the social and political dimensions of air.
