Ever thought about tunnels? Tunnels are important structures in rail transport—and at first glance, they are rather inconspicuous. While bridges visibly shape landscapes, tunnels open up new paths hidden from view.
In the 19th century, the railroad became a pioneer in tunnel construction. Its expansion marked the beginning of a new era of underground construction—countless tunnels have been built to this day. They seem to overcome every obstacle: mountain ranges, large cities, and even straits.
The exhibition “Tunnels” sheds light on the world of dark tubes. It shows the development of tunnel construction, takes a look at current mega-projects, and explains what tunnels mean to us today.
