From 4 March to 30 June 2021 we turn our attention to meat, following it from the table back via the butcher’s shop and the slaughterhouse to the farm. We reveal what’s in the meat we consume, where it comes from, and where its future lies. The exhibition features fascinating objects from the collections of the Swiss National Library, including Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s visions of butchers, Daniel Spoerri’s Eat Art, Bell sausage advertisements and much more.
The National Library celebrates 100 years of Friedrich Dürrenmatt. Exhibitions turn the spotlight on meat and the right to vote. And there’s a chance to discover the thought of Jean Starobinski online.
The collections of the Swiss National Library consist of books, newspapers and periodicals, websites, maps and atlases, university and corporate publications, official publications and printed music.
The image documents in the National Library’s Prints and Drawings Department include prints from the 17th to the 20th centuries, photographs, postcards and posters as well as editions/portfolios and books containing original graphic works.
The National Library’s Literary Archives are home to the leading
collection of literary estates, libraries and archives from authors of
the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Swiss National Sound Archives in Lugano collect sound recordings and preserve them for posterity. They have been archiving Switzerland’s audio heritage and making it available to anyone with an interest since 1987.
Lors de l’inventaire des œuvres graphiques d’Albert Welti (1862−1912), de vieux souvenirs d'enfance reviennent à Thomas Zweifel, stagiaire universitaire au Cabinet des estampes de la Bibliothèque nationale suisse. Et il découvre du même coup l’unité dans l’œuvre apparemment contradictoire de l’un des plus importants peintres suisses.
