The six-part unpacking events dynamically presents the themes of the exhibition Unpacking Jak R. Maier. In discussions with experts from the academic and professional fields and in live unpacking events, the museum team examines the hidden treasures of the artist’s estate. The findings will be documented on site by the designers sieblersiebler, which will steadily change the exhibition as more of the estate comes to light.

Ath the second unpacking event we follow the clues! How did Jak R. Maier’s estate end up in the collection of the Bauhaus-Archiv? And what subsequent processes occurred at the museum? We speak with people that work with estates and those who were the first to come in contact with the inheritance of Jak R. Maier.
