A European Capital of Culture would be inconceivable without its exhibitions. Every day there are dozens of places that want to be visited. They present stories and history, art of today and from past eras, crafts and traditions, everyday culture and contemporary history. The following is just a small selection of the major exhibitions for Chemnitz 2025.

Based on the NSU complex, Offener Prozess shows stories of migration and the everyday racism that people are still exposed to today. But also their resistance to it. It depicts the continuous right-wing violence and the loud voices that stood up against it.
