Exhibition “Law–Rules of Everyday Life” Comes to Bremen for the Day of German Unity

To mark German Unity Day, the exhibition „Law—Rules of Everyday Life“ by the Forum Recht Foundation is making a stop in Bremen as part of its tour trough Germany. The interactive exhibition invites visitors to think along and participate on October 2 and 3.

Bremen. Where do we encounter the law in our everyday lives, and how does it affect us? Whether we’re renting an apartment, at work, on the road, or within our own families, the law is everywhere. It shapes and structures our daily interactions. With its exhibition "Law – Rules of Everyday Life,” the Forum Recht Foundation, in cooperation with the Senator for Justice and Constitution of Bremen, brings the topic to places where people come together: cultural institutions, educational venues, and judicial institutions across Germany. On October 2 and 3, the exhibition will be on view at Bürgerhaus Weserterrassen in Bremen. Bremen will host the national celebrations marking German Unity Day 2026 from October 2 through 4. Admission to both the celebrations and the exhibition is free.

Four Case Studies – Four Functions of the Law
The exhibition focuses on four cases, each of which examines an everyday situation. Through concrete examples, it illustrates the functions that the law fulfills in our shared lives. The exhibition invites visitors to share their own experiences with the law and to discuss the role that rules play in society.

Interactive and fun: Get involved!
A special feature of the exhibition is its interactive elements. They provide a playful approach to complex topics and encourage active engagement with the law. A quiz invites visitors to test their knowledge of everyday legal issues, and in the spinning cube game, visitors resolve tricky conflict situations. The interactive formats encourage participation, discussion, and discovery. Through a web app, visitors can also share their own experiences with the law and become part of the exhibition themselves.

At the same time, there is an opportunity to engage in conversation with judges, for example, on topics such as legal harmony, the rule of law, and the importance of an independent judiciary.

The indoor exhibition has been touring Germany since April 2026 and can be seen in public institutions, schools, libraries, museums, and other venues—anywhere where the law and everyday life intersect. It builds on the successful pop-up exhibition by the Forum Recht Foundation and adapts its approach to a flexible indoor format.

„Law—The Rules of Everyday Life“ will be on view on October 2, from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and on October 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., at the Bürgerhaus Weserterrassen on Osterdeich in Bremen. Admission to the exhibition is free.
