Museum of Lies Collection

The Museum of Lies was founded by Reinhard Zabka, the Dadaist artist also known as Richard von Gigantikow, in 1990 during the political changes of the GDR. It came about by the private initiative of the artist, who was active in the non-conformist and avant-garde art scene during the GDR period. Its origins lie in an art house established by the artist during the GDR in Babe, in the state of Brandenburg. From its very beginning, the museum has been a non-conformist project that has aimed at breaking taboos of content just as those of institutions. After relocating to a rural area of Saxony, the art house was transformed into its current form of the Museum of Lies.
