It's fun: Norwegian jewelry artist Sigurd Bronger is known for his extraordinary creations made from everyday objects.
Here is the “Balloon” brooch.

The four museums in the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne are inviting you to an exciting program again in 2024.
An overview.
What is so funny about that?
Plenty!
This year, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich is once again offering a program that will make art lovers happier.
Not in the sense of escapist permanent grinning.
But excited looking, listening and recognizing really does make you happier in the long run.
If you don't believe it, it's best to just try it out this year.
At a press breakfast, the Munich Pinakothek der Moderne team presented what will attract new visitors to the building in the coming months.
Because it offers four museums for the price of one (Modern Art Collection, State Graphics Collection, TUM Architecture Museum and the New Collection - Design Museum), there is a lot on offer again in 2024.
In the Pinakothek der Moderne you get four museums at once
In its first exhibition this year, the Architecture Museum, for example, questions how much generosity actually lies in architectural donations.
“The Gift” is the title of the show, which runs from February 29th to September 8th, 2024 – in German: the gift;
but at the same time a false friend, as in this country when we hear the word poison we immediately think of toxic substances.
“We want to use donated buildings to question what the future life of these buildings looks like and whether and how they will be accepted,” explains Architecture Museum boss Andres Lepik.
Because he knows: In some cases, gifts from self-proclaimed philanthropists turn out to be a curse instead of a blessing.
What stands out: Anna Udeenberg’s “Climber (warcraft)” fits into the “Eccentric” exhibition in the Modern Art Collection.

The autumn exhibition in the Modern Art Collection is also exciting: from October 25, 2024 to April 27, 2025, “Eccentric” illuminates the socio-political role of the eccentric.
Here, all people with a penchant for extravagance can also look forward to excursions into the areas of fashion, film and music.
The Graphic Collection, meanwhile, is celebrating Hendrick Goltzius (1558-1617) and Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) from June 13 to September 15, 2024: With their graphics, the two artists achieved a new form of plasticity.
So that you don't have to rush home after all that art-indulgence, the New Collection - The Design Museum is offering everyone the opportunity to experience what it's like in its rotunda project “Social Seating” from April 26th to May 11th: to sit.
We do it all the time, sometimes for hours without stopping.
Designers like Verner Panton (1926-1998) succeeded in creating furniture that was more than just seating.
Panton's “Cloverleaf” (1969) will meander through the rotunda and invite you to sit down, feel your body, and talk to others.
The only catch: Afterwards the boring desk chair somehow feels more uncomfortable.
