Robotic Worlds

At the dawn of the Age of Robots, Die Neue Sammlung is dedicating an exhibition to these relatively young contemporaries of humankind. For more than 100 years now, robots have shaped our ideas about future and parallel worlds, and in the last few years they’ve become a firm fixture of everyday life. The experts suggest that the areas where they can be used will increase rapidly over the coming years.

At this historic turning point, the exhibition takes a look at what humans imagine robots to be as well as their real form and function. Exhibits include outstanding robots and robot toy figures from around 1970 to the present day: They show both the human fantasies and utopian worlds associated with robots, as well as the various shapes and designs of real, functional robots.
