EXEMPLAmünchen 2026 – Shaping the Future.
The future is not a distant promise, but a space that can be shaped. It grows out of the decisions and actions we take today. The special exhibition EXEMPLAmünchen 2026 is dedicated to the forward-looking power of craftsmanship: inventive, responsible and socially relevant. Across five thematic areas, this exhibition reveals the many ways in which craftsmanship offers answers to the challenges of our time.
Craftsmanship strengthens regional structures and brings fresh momentum to rural areas. Craftsmanship creates spaces for community, fostering participation and integration. Craftsmanship places preservative craftsmanship – the art of maintenance and conservation – at the heart of a mindset rooted in care and sustainability. Craftsmanship combines traditional building with innovative materials and resource-efficient construction methods. And craftsmanship develops bespoke solutions that enhance health and quality of life.
These five fields make one thing clear: craftsmanship shapes the future not in abstract terms, but through ideas that make an impact, build connections and open up new paths. EXEMPLAmünchen 2026 invites visitors to experience craftsmanship as a vibrant, creative and responsible force for a sustainable future.
