SEX NOW
5 September 2025 - 3 May 2026
Sex can connect, liberate, hurt and control people. With the exhibition SEX NOW, the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf invites visitors to discover lust, bodies and desire in all their complexity. From latex fashion, furniture design, photography and media art to dolls and toys: featuring around 400 objects across ten themed rooms, the show stages an intimate dialogue about sexuality and society. It explores erotic fantasies, queer perspectives and new realities – free of taboos and stigmas. To accompany the exhibition, the NRW-Forum is also launching its own OnlyFans account to share exclusive material and uncensored glimpses behind the scenes.
SEX NOW is open to visitors aged 18 and over. It features artistic works with explicit sexual content.

ASIA POP
18 September 2025 - Spring 2026
Comics, film, food and much more – East Asian pop culture has become a decisive force in shaping the global mainstream. With ASIA POP, the NRW-Forum presents the first comprehensive exhibition in Germany devoted to this development and its cultural-political, economic and aesthetic influence. From kawaii characters such as Hello Kitty and animated films by Studio Ghibli, to K-pop groups like BTS and games such as Black Myth: Wukong, ASIA POP presents the full breadth of East Asian popular culture. In Düsseldorf, home to Germany’s largest East Asian community, the NRW-Forum presents a visual, sonic and culinary panorama across 1,200 square metres and around 400 works.
