During the Cold War, SDAG Wismut mined weapons-grade uranium for the Soviet Union in western Saxony and eastern Thuringia. It was also a notorious »state within a state«, collecting fine art on a grand scale. For the first time in Zwickau, at an authentic Wismut site, the exhibition provides an over­­view of the most extensive art collection ever owned by an East German company, displaying more than 4,000 works by 450 artists. A pictorial expedition into the recent past that also examines the themes of transformation after German reunification.
