Kitsch or Art? The exciting search for one's own taste in art begins in Aalen

The Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen invites you to a free exhibition from July 24 to September 6, 2026, which revisits one of the oldest questions in the art world: What is kitsch, what is art? Visitors will experience an exhibition that uses explanatory texts and sharpens the view for different art styles.

A walk between judgment and impression

This is not about quick answers, but rather about perception, comparison, and discussion. The presentation focuses on a calm, concentrated event atmosphere where art is not only viewed but questioned. This is precisely what makes this exhibition experience intriguing: one's own perspective becomes part of the visit.

A place for curiosity and art discussion

The Gallery in the Town Hall of Aalen provides the perfect setting for this. With its central location at the marketplace and clear opening hours, spontaneous visits as well as planned tours are easily accessible.

What makes this exhibition special

The show combines art communication with an open question. Instead of ready-made interpretations, different evaluation patterns take center stage. This makes the format attractive for art-interested guests who enjoy comparing, discussing, and sharpening their perspectives on aesthetic questions. The free exhibition is suitable for a quick cultural stop as well as for a mindful visit with more time.
