Preview Civilization The Way We Live Now April 11 – August 24, 2025 Never have more people lived on Earth, never has our impact on the planet been greater, never have we been more closely interconnected—our society is changing ever more rapidly. The exhibition Civilization tracks humanity’s visual threads across the globe, through the eyes of some 120 of the most internationally accomplished photographers. The thematic tour presents diverse imagery from cultures on all continents, exploring a variety of aspects, from the great achievements of mankind to our collective failings. In the year of its 40th anniversary, the Kunsthalle München is dedicating this exhibition to the question of how we live today and sheds light on our civilization’s diversity and contradictions. This exhibition has been co-produced by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis/Paris/Lausanne, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Korea in collaboration with the Kunsthalle München.
