The Magnificent Industry: A Look at Art in the World of Industry 2025 invites viewers to the charming French city of Strasbourg. Located on the border with Germany and connected to the German town of Kehl, Strasbourg lies where the River Ill flows into the Rhine River. Although relatively small, the city is a place where European leaders regularly meet.

Every year, Strasbourg celebrates the connection between art and industry over a ten-day period. During this time, major companies collaborate with contemporary artists, whose task is to create artworks that are then displayed throughout the city. These pieces can be found in public urban spaces, in artists’ workshops, and even within factories where key production processes take place.

Strasbourg’s role as a guardian of major works of art is not new. Its historic city center, known as the Grande Île, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Centre list in 1988, a landmark moment for France due to its exceptional architectural ensemble.

In The Magnificent Industry: A Look at Art in the World of Industry, audiences will also see the Strasbourg Cathedral, whose construction began as early as 1015. Until the 19th century, it was considered the tallest Christian structure in the world. Its façade is adorned with hundreds of intricate sculptures, while inside it houses an impressive organ and an astronomical clock, installed in 1842.

A remarkable example of timber-frame architecture is the Maison Kammerzell, located in the very heart of the city. Its history dates back to the 11th century, and today it functions as both a hotel and a restaurant.
