About the Exhibition
„Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“ presents complex legal topics in an accessible and interactive way. Where do we encounter the law in our daily lives—and how does it influence our lives? Whether when renting an apartment, at work, on the road, or within the family: Law is everywhere, as the exhibition makes clear, and it explicitly invites visitors to get involved: Using QR codes and a web app, they can record videos with their own smartphones and share personal experiences. In this way, the exhibition grows over time
more. There’s also the opportunity to explore the world of law in a fun way through a quiz and a spinning cube. The traveling exhibition has been touring Germany since July 2025 and can be seen at train stations, shopping centers, schools, and marketplaces—anywhere where the law and everyday life intersect. Before its stops in Pirna and Dortmund, „Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“ had already been on display in Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Mönchengladbach, Leipzig, and Dresden.
