Event Description:
An exhibition on happiness, luck and fortune.
The search for happiness is as old as humanity itself, but our ideas of what happiness consists of, whether riches, consumption, freedom or love, are determined to some extent by the cultural, religious and economic conditions in which we live. These days, it is harder than ever to find common denominator for happiness. In our own affluent society, with its emphasis upon individual self-fulfilment, concepts of happiness have become similarly personalised. People’s very different needs and convictions are reflected in a wide range of competing paths to happiness.
All the same, the pursuit of happiness still poses the question: What kind of life do I – do we – want to live in this society? What part is played by subjective feelings of happiness, on one hand, and values such as solidarity and justice on the other?
So what do we mean, when we talk of happiness? The German language has one word ‚Glück‘, whereas others make a distinction between ‚happiness‘ and ‚luck‘. This exhibition presents very different and often contradictory forms of happiness in an associative composition of historical art and cultural exhibits, scientific objects and contemporary artworks. For all they may suggest that pursuit of happiness is an elemental part of human nature – there’s no compulsion to be happy!
That’s why the exhibition is not intended as yet another guide to achieving happiness. It is more of a test-bed, inviting visitors to take a new look at their own feelings and dreams. The motif of happiness appears in familiar and unfamiliar incarnations; it can be just as much an epitome of love, freedom or belief, as it can a synonym for intuition, immortality or Utopia. Moreover, the exhibition shows that happiness is inconceivable without its opposites; that misfortune, pain and loss are equally part of human existence.

Event Description:
The permanent exhibition at Hygienemuseum Dresden. Marveling – Learning-Trying out.
In recent years, many special exhibitions on topics in the natural, cultural, and social sciences have repositioned the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum as a “museum of man.” In 2004 and 2005, the museum gained yet another important dimension for its visitors when the permanent exhibition opened in two stages. Scientific developments, particularly those in reproductive medicine, brain research, or nanotechnology, pose new challenges for the museum, which until 1990 had focused on disseminating conventional information on health.
Lifelike and attractively designed classical exhibits as well as independent, hands-on learning activities have always been the salient strengths of this Dresden museum—and they still are in the permanent exhibition. Encompassing an area of ca. 2.500 square meters, it presents over 1,300 objects, most of them from the museum’s own collection. Items on loan from other institutions complement specially made media units and interactive displays to provide an informative and engaging museum experience. Addressing the vastly different needs of the visitors, this multifaceted approach to the topics treated in the exhibition has come to make the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum one of Europe’s most interesting museums of science.
