On Thursday, August 27, the exhibition “Eagles, Medals, Ballot Boxes: Redesigning Democratic Representation” opens at the Museum of Applied Arts in Frankfurt am Main.

A ballot box, a heraldic animal, an order of merit: three objects that play a surprisingly significant role in the everyday life of our democracy—yet are rarely given much thought. This is precisely where the exhibition comes in. It invites visitors to take a fresh look at familiar symbols of the democratic community and to ask whether they still align with what we understand by democracy today.
