An exhibition on art and mining at Wismut
During the Cold War, SDAG Wismut mined weapons-grade uranium for the Soviet Union in western Saxony and eastern Thuringia. It was also a nototrious "state within a state", collecting fine art on a grand scale. For the first time in Zwickau, at an authentic Wismut site, the exhibition provides an overview of the most extensive art collection ever owned by an East german company, displaying more than 4,000 works by 450 artists from 10 April to 10 August 2025. A pictorial expedition into the recent past that also explores the themes of transformation after German reunification.
