The exhibition in cooperation with the Museum Kunstpalast sheds light on the centuries-old fascination of horror. Horror and dread have accompanied mankind throughout the centuries.

In art and culture, however, this unease has been countered by a lively interest in it, sometimes even a humorous approach. For the first time, the exhibition focuses on the diverse and ambiguous history of the artistic treatment of horror as well as the topicality of horror in fashion, music, film and contemporary art. The spectrum of the more than 100 works on display ranges from classical painting and sculpture to elaborate installations.
