This exhibition focuses on the transformative years of mumok under the directorship of Dieter Ronte (1979–1989). Exemplary insights into the heterogeneity of the collection expansions are juxtaposed with the culturalpolitical parameters and programmatic decisions of this decade.
“Never Final”—a concept articulated by Hertha Firnberg—continues to define mumok as a dynamic place of change to this day. This idea is brought to life in the exhibition through an open format featuring interactive furniture and dialogue spaces, presenting the museum as a platform for collective research, learning, and reflection.
