The exhibition offers a first-time overview about the history of a form of photography, which always oscillated between scientific precision and artistic fantasy. To the exhibits belong shots by modern artists like contemporary photographic art, whose photo-artistic picture production was inspired by the world of forms of the microcosm. In addition also included will be pieces from the 19th century, which developed in a pure scientific context.

AWO – the Cult Motorcycle of the German Democratic Republic

12th February to 1st May 2011

The AWO-Motorcycles from Suhl in Thuringia are cult till this day. Until today exists an active fanbase, which was the initial spark for this special exhibition in the Dresden Transport Museum. There will be featured the history of the Suhl venture and the whole type range: from the Touren-AWO 425 to the Sport-AWO 425/S to combinations, race, cross country and special mission bikes. The many sent in private AWO-stories heat up the show with live and recollect the joy and misery of the bikes in the 1950s and 1960s.
