Streamline
closed (4.11.2016–23.4.2017)

Approximately 100 vehicles and models, including examples from Germany, Great Britain, France, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and the USA, show how the ideal of streamlining not only changed the construction of cars, locomotives, and everyday appliances, but also became a symbol of velocity and modernity which electrified both ordinary people and those in power throughout the world. Besides displaying the technological variety and outlining the cultural dimensions, the exhibition also explores the historical discontinuity and continuity of this phenomenon and its social significance.
