Two people stand in front of an exhibition wall and are reading in a booklet. They are both wearing hats. Pictures hang on the wall in two rows, one above the other. The pictures in the upper row are black with single thin white stripes. The pictures in the lower row, on the other hand, are colorful, partly horizontally, partly vertically striped.

Publications

Since its inception, the museum has pursued intensive publishing activities. A wide array of catalogues and other publications on the exhibitions are the result.

View of a box containing a letter with the heading “Art for all”. This is signed by the artist duo Gilbert & George and addressed to Jean-Christophe Ammann, the first director of the MMK. Next to the letter are two photographs of two people in suits. In another, Gilbert & George are talking to a group of people. Next to it is a postcard of the Palace of Westminster in London.
