Intrinsic Perspectives

What are the foundations on which a society functions? How do basic conditions and interdependencies create commonalities and differences in human societies? What makes us special as individuals and as communities?

The exhibition "Intrinsic Perspectives - Inspiring Aspects of Anthropology" stands for the Museum der Kulturen's new programmatic approach, focusing on the key concepts agency, knowledge, performance, and space. The selection turns our attention to the principles and opportunities that humans possess in shaping their way of life within existing systems and structures.
