„Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“: A pop-up exhibition by the Forum Recht Foundation in Karlsruhe
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 display around the clock every day from July 1 to August 3, 2025, at Karlsruhe Central Station. At the opening on July 1 at 11:30 a.m., Dr. Cord Brügmann, Director of the Forum Recht Foundation, will welcome the attendees. Dr. Frank Mentrup, Mayor of Karlsruhe, and Martin Büchle, Head of Station Management (Mein Einkaufsbahnhof/DB InfraGO AG), will deliver welcoming remarks, and Project Manager Charlotte Großmann will provide an introduction to the exhibition. Following this, the Forum Recht Foundation will present the accompanying program for the exhibition together with Ulrich Bunk, Vice President of the Karlsruhe Regional Court. Participants will receive a set of cards that they can use right there at the exhibition to strike up a conversation—for example, with a lawyer, a judge, or people in other legal professions—about the “rules of the game” in everyday life.
Admission to the opening and the exhibition is free. Visitors can use their own smartphones to record videos within the exhibition via a QR code and a web app, and share their personal experiences. Thanks to these contributions, the exhibition continues to evolve over the course of its run and highlights a wide variety of perspectives.
The traveling exhibition will tour Germany starting in July 2025 and will be on display 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, and other cities.
Admission is free.
