Guided Tour of the Special Exhibition with the Curator

Description

Hand Mixer «Gerda», Cherry Pitter «Kernex», Refrigerator «Sibir» or Vacuum Cleaner «Super Max» – the small and large helpers in the household represented more than just ease of work. They promised comfort, progress, and a degree of independence. The special exhibition «Gerda, Kernex, Sibir. Practical Devices in the Household» presents a wide range of household appliances from its own collection as well as posters, photos, and films. They vividly demonstrate the increasing mechanization of the household. Whether mechanical or electric: the modern miracle machines promised ease and elegance in housework. Works by Roman Signer and Hans Schweizer complement the exhibition with an artistic perspective on irons and steam cookers.
