"Law - the rules of everyday life": A pop-up exhibition by the Stiftung Forum Recht in Leipzig
Where do we encounter the law in our daily lives? How does it shape our lives? And who has what kind of experiences with the law? Whether we’re renting, working, driving, shopping, or spending time with family—the law is all around us. With the interactive pop-up exhibition „Law—The Rules of Everyday Life,“ the Forum Recht Foundation offers food for thought on these questions and invites visitors to get involved.
„Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“ will be on view in Leipzig from September 12 to October 12, 2025, 24 hours a day, between the university cafeteria, the Gewandhaus, and the Moritzbastei. Visitors can use a QR code and a web app on their own smartphones to record videos and share their personal experiences as part of the exhibition. Thanks to these contributions, the exhibition will continue to evolve over its run and highlight a wide variety of perspectives.
About the Exhibition
The traveling exhibition will tour Germany starting in July 2025 and can be seen at train stations, shopping centers, and marketplaces—anywhere where the law and everyday life intersect. After Karlsruhe, „Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“ will make stops in Heidelberg, Mönchengladbach, Leipzig, Dresden, and other cities.
