The ninth pro­­ject in the se­ries, And Yes­ter­­day and To­­mor­row, brings to­gether se­lec­t­ed con­tem­po­rary and his­­tor­i­­cal art­­works with sci­en­tif­ic ma­te­rial to ex­­plore our ex­pe­ri­ences of time and the places we oc­cu­py. More­over, by in­­­clud­ing var­i­ous dis­­­ci­p­­lines, the ex­hi­bi­­tion pro­­vides a space for col­lec­­tive learn­ing. This is al­­so the Mu­se­um Lud­wig’s first de­­mon­s­­tra­b­­ly cli­­mate-neu­­tral show.
