The series of exhibitions kicks off with a motley collection of
objects from the turn of the century, grouped under the heading
"Life in an industrialized world". It includes items
of both unusual and commonplace appearance, whose relevance for
certain aspects of industrialization - such as mobility, hard
work and punctuality - will often only be revealed on closer inspection.
It will draw the visitor's attention to the continual demands
on people's adaptability, a prominent feature of the exacting
character of industrialization, as well as to the new opportunities it offered.
