bauKULTURstelle - historic building plus exhibition !

in #travel9 days ago

The exhibition “70 Years of the Braun SK4 and 80 Years of Vinyl” will be on view through June 14, 2026, at the historic BauKULTURstelle building in the Dingden district of Hamminkeln.
It is a former village schoolhouse.
The building was saved from decay
and transformed into an educational center for architectural culture and a village gathering place.
The project has won several architecture awards.

The current exhibition focuses on the history of the vinyl record, but above all on cover art.
Recording devices are also on display.
From the gramophone to the Transrotor, it’s truly wonderful to see these devices in person.
There are also many record covers on display featuring gimmicks or 3-D effects.
Of course, there are also many covers designed by successful artists, such as Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Banksy, HR Giger, and others.
The building, which is a listed historic site, is also something special and gives the exhibition its own unique character.
It’s well worth a visit!!

This is the smallest gramophone in the world.
It's called the Mikiphone and was manufactured between 1926 and 1928

Noch bis zum 14.6.2026 findet die Ausstellung " 70 Jahre Braun SK4 und 80 Jahre Vinyl " im historischen Gebäude BauKULTURstelle im Ortsteil Dingden der Stadt Hamminkeln statt.
In der Ausstellung geht es um die Geschichte der Schallplatte, aber vor allem auch um Cover-Kunst.
Außerdem werden Abspielgeräte gezeigt.
Vom Grammophon bis zum Transrotor, es ist wirklich toll, diese Geräte einmal live zu sehen.
Zu sehen sind auch viele Schallplattencover mit Gimmicks oder 3-D-Effekten.
Natürlich sind auch viele Cover dabei, die von erfolgreichen Künstlern gestaltet wurden, z.B. Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Banksy, HR Giger u.a.
Das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Gebäude ist auch etwas Besonderes und gibt der Ausstellung noch einmal einen ganz eigenen Charakter.
Es lohnt sich!!
