Kitsch or Art? The Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen invites you to a stylish border experience

In the Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen, starting from August 18, 2026, a theme that resonates with all those who want not only to look at art but also to discuss it: What is kitsch, what is art? The exhibition "Kitsch or Art? An Approach to Good Taste" starts precisely where perception, memory, and taste intersect.

An Exhibition Experience Between Feeling and Judgment

The city of Aalen is planning a showcase in which images and objects are juxtaposed that deliberately irritate, touch, or elicit a smile. The idea: Visitors should not only walk through an exhibition but also make their own judgments. This creates a lively event atmosphere with topics for discussion, recognition, and a strong audience mood.

Between the Bellowing Deer and the Grandparents' Favorite Piece

The charm of this presentation lies in the diversity of the borrowed items and the open view on everyday aesthetics. That is exactly what makes the event experience so special: Here, it’s about personal stories, about objects with memory value, and about the question of why some things are immediately considered kitsch, while others are understood as art. The theme is accessible, intelligently curated, and relevant for a broad audience.
