„Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“: A pop-up exhibition by the Forum Recht Foundation in Pirna
The mobile pop-up exhibition „Law—The Rules of Everyday Life,“ organized by the Forum Recht Foundation, is making a stop in Pirna as part of its tour of Germany.
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. Visitors can use a QR code and a web app on their own smartphones to record videos and share their personal experiences. Through these contributions, the exhibition evolves over its run and highlights a wide variety of perspectives.
The interactive exhibition will be on display at the „Friedrich Siemens“ Vocational Training Center in Pirna from November 4 to November 23, 2025, and will be open on November 5, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on November 11, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Open to visitors. For groups, separate appointments can be made via e-mail be agreed upon.
