Whether long, short, or shaved, curly or straight, hair is far more than a matter of style. It speaks of beauty and desire, of power and vulnerability, of conformity and rebellion. Hair is a potent eans of expression—political, religious, cultural, and deeply personal. We use it to signal belonging, shape our identity, or captivate others. The exhibition at Kunsthalle München invites visitors on a timulating, sensuous, and surprising journey through three millennia of the art and cultural history of hair. Around 200 works, from ancient to modern, reveal the powerful impact of what might
at first seem commonplace.
