Alongside photographic projects documenting the city under exceptional circumstances, the museum actively began collecting these artifacts. This album presents a selection of the approximately 500 objects and photos that have since entered the museum's collection under the theme of the "Corona pandemic." These items offer a personal and tangible record of the pandemic's impact on individual routines, community interactions, and societal responses.
