4th Saxon State Exhibition 2020

→ Main article: 4th Saxon State Exhibition

According to the resolution of the Saxon State Parliament of April 19, 2011, the 4th Saxon State Exhibition was to be held in the region of south-west Saxony on the topic of industrial culture. The state exhibition was originally supposed to take place in 2018. After the award to the city of Zwickau in 2014, it was determined that the planned implementation in the listed Horch building could not be implemented. In spring 2015, the Saxon State Ministry for Science and Art decided that the central exhibition in Zwickau should be supplemented by further exhibitions in other locations in order to achieve greater integration of the South West Saxony region. In the early summer of 2015, the 4th Saxon State Exhibition was postponed to 2020 after no municipality in the region was able to provide a property for the flagship exhibition with the necessary security for 2018. In mid-September 2016, the state government decided to hold the central exhibition in the Audi building in Zwickau. On January 4, 2017, the State Minister for Science and Art, Eva-Maria Stange , announced that the German Hygiene Museum Dresden is the organizer of the Zwickau central exhibition and that it will coordinate the overall project in cooperation with the venues. On January 11, 2019, the title for the state exhibition was announced with: "Boom. 500 years of industrial culture in Saxony". Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the opening of the state exhibition has been postponed from April 25, 2020 to July 11, 2020. The 4th Saxon State Exhibition will now be open from July 11th to December 31st, 2020.

In addition to the central exhibition, there will be the following six locations of industrial culture:
