The Shape of Curiosity is a sculpture exhibition featuring works from the AGH permanent collection. These pieces explore elements of the natural world by contrasting aspects of the outdoors with the indoors, encouraging us to shift our perspective outward.
Through vibrant colours, enchanting movement, captivating shapes, and familiar forms, the artists invite us to reconsider our relationship to space and symbols. Their work also offers insightful reflections and critiques on contemporary culture. This exhibition brings attention to the overlooked wonders of everyday life, revealing the magic hidden in the ordinary.
Featuring contemporary collection artists FASTWÜRMS, Kim Adams, BGL, and Joseph Calleja.
