From October 14 to November 2, 2024, the BlechenCARRÈ shopping center in Cottbus will host the German Customs Museum's traveling exhibition 'Genuine Fake'.

Visitors can expect to see counterfeit t-shirts of popular sports brands, imitation designer sunglasses, perfume bottles, and even fake chainsaws and construction foam. The exhibition serves as a stark reminder of the prevalence of counterfeit products in our society.
