About this event
The exhibition takes you on a journey through global history, all starting from objects in Frankfurt’s collection. A 1970s credit card tells the story of the environmental movement, a 19th-century share certificate exposes colonial market dynamics, and a simple medal links a local famine to a volcanic eruption in Indonesia. By shifting perspective from the object to the wider world and back, you’ll discover surprising connections – from the bicycle’s rise to Frankenstein’s creation. It is an invitation to marvel at how tightly Frankfurt has always been woven into global events.
