Crazy about meat

What is a city festival, a barbecue or a visit to a restaurant without steak or sausage? Since industrialisation, meat has not only meant pleasure and status, it has also become cheap and commonplace. But in the quantities we consume, it is unhealthy and also has a dramatic impact on our planet.

The first chapter of the exhibition explores the question of why and since when meat has been so closely associated with our cooking and eating habits.
The second asks about animals as 'products'. Is it okay that we see living beings as 'products'? In any case, public criticism is growing.
The third part deals with the central question of price. Should everyone be able to afford meat? How fair are our prices? And what else does eating meat cost?
Finally, the last chapter is dedicated to in vitro meat. For a few years now, there has been hope that we could grow meat cells in the laboratory in the future, without animal suffering and environmental pollution. Is this the liberating solution?

The - partly interactive - exhibition shows pictures and objects on these questions. Visitors will also encounter video statements from scientists and everyday experts. These include Karen Duve, who reports on her year-long self-experiment to 'eat properly', and Stefan Michel, who argues that certain meats are good for the climate.
