"Gerda, Kernex, Sibir" Practical Devices in Household

Description

It is difficult to measure how revolutionary the washing machine, refrigerator, iron, or vacuum cleaner have been. Household appliances, which are now taken for granted, have profoundly changed our daily lives. Whether mechanical or electric, these miraculous machines of modern times now allow housewives to complete their tasks with ease and elegance.
The exhibition presents a wide range of household appliances from its own collection: from kitchen utensils to entertainment electronics, including accessories for home, laundry, and body care. Posters and photos from the 1940s to 1970s show the growing importance of domestic technology. Works by Roman Signer and Hans Schweizer complete the exhibition with an artistic perspective on the iron and the pressure cooker.
