From illuminated medieval manuscripts to contemporary artworks, this is the first presentation to illustrate the ten abiding ages of Polish-German neighborhood, spanning over 700 objects, highlighting key social and political events, scientific discoveries, and cultural developments. Outstanding artworks, documents, books, films, photographs, and music are brought together to create a unique and powerful picture. Testifying to the vitality and multifaceted nature of mutual relations, Side by Side explores the role of history and representation by crafting national and cultural identities.

The exhibition is accompanied by an over 700-page comprehensive catalogue edited by Polish art historian Professor Malgorzata Omilanowska, including essays by leading experts from Germany and Poland as well as eminent guest authors from other countries.
