Hair is so much more than a mere question of style. The exhibition invites visitors on a sensuous and surprising journey through three millennia of hair-related art and cultural history.
Long or short, shaved, curly, or straight, hair is far more than a matter of style. It speaks of beauty and desire, of power and vulnerability, of conformity and rebellion. Hair is a potent means of expression—political, religious, cultural, and deeply personal. We use it to signal belonging, shape our identity, or captivate others. The exhibition at Kunsthalle München invites visitors on a stimulating, sensuous, and surprising journey through three millennia of the art and cultural history of hair. Around 200 works, from ancient to modern, unfurl the powerful impact of this supposedly commonplace phenomenon.
