The exhibition ENTER AFTERLIFE by the artist duo O Future opens with a spectacular performance created especially for the occasion, staged in the museum's grand entrance hall.

Video projections combine with an electronically manipulated choir and music as the sculptures come to life in the vaulted ceiling. Afterwards, the museum's inner courtyard is transformed into an atmospheric oasis with cold drinks and delicious tunes from the DJ - and the exhibition can be experienced in the museum's northern marble galleries.
