About the exhibition:
What do we do with all the things that surround us? What do they do with us? In many of us there is an urge to collect, sort and show things. They help us remember, organize our knowledge, trigger emotions. In short: with these things we make the world our own.

Around 50,000 such things lie dormant in the collection of the Museum Burg Zug. They offer us access to the past and store diverse knowledge. But which memories, which knowledge should the museum preserve? How did the objects find their way into the collection? And: How does the museum deal with these objects, how and why are they cared for and preserved for future generations?

The exhibition "Is everything all right? Stories from the Collection" explores these questions and searches for answers by showing a cross-section of the otherwise mostly hidden treasures. The objects come together in unusual ensembles. In this way, new contexts, perspectives and narratives emerge. Some objects reveal their history right away. With each one, knowledge and meanings grow, and new doors and insights into the past open up again and again. The diversity of narratives contributes to the understanding of the present.
