Where to go with all the things? Pure nostalgia in the Simeonstift City Museum!

in the Simeonstift City Museum in Trier opens an exciting special exhibition with the title "Expansion", which illuminates the profound change in the lifestyle of the past 100 years. The exhibition consists of around 200 exhibits that cover various areas of everyday life, including "living and household", "everyday work" as well as "body care and medicine". This preparation provides visitors an impressive overview of the changes in time and the associated developments in the way of life of people.

The household of an average family in Germany was much more modest. From the point of view, people had just around 180 objects that were treated with care and often passed on for generations. This shows how much our relationship with things has changed. Today we are surrounded by around 10,000 different objects, often in multiple execution and always at hand, which reflects the increasing mobility and speed of modern life.

The changes in everyday life and the role of technology

The exhibition shows how technology, social circumstances and role ideas have changed over time. Technical innovations have revolutionized our everyday life and give the exhibits a deep meaning. One can hardly deny that progress plays a central role in the development of lifestyle. Many utensils that were once considered important were obsolete through new technologies and trends. This meant that many objects were discarded or unmodern and end up in boxes in the attic or, as in this case, find a new place in the museum.

This exhibition takes up an important cultural memory. Many of the objects shown not only have nostalgic value, but also a story that is deeply rooted in society. From household items to work utensils to fashion items, the way of life of past generations is presented in a clear and urgent way. Some pieces could remind visitors of their own childhood or youth, while others are perceived as curiosities from long -forgotten times.

A variety of private loans from the region complements the collection of the city museum and makes the exhibition even more impressive. Statdessen were selected some outstanding paintings from the urban art collection that visually support everyday objects and expand their historical context. The combination of practical objects and artistic elements makes visiting the exhibition a unique experience.

“discarded” is not only a review of the past, but also a valuable impetus to question your own relationship with the objects of everyday life. What does our relationship with things look like today and what does what we own means to us? At a time when minimalism and sustainability are of increasing importance, this exhibition offers important food for thought and encourages reflection on our own consumption.

The Simeonstift City Museum enables visitors to “discard” the discovery of the transformation of everyday life and technology over the past hundred years. Details on this topic are in the article by www.rlp-tourismus.com to read . The exhibition recently opened and will certainly attract many interested parties who want to learn more about the matter and stories behind the discarded objects.
