About

Automatically translated from German

This guided tour showcases over 500 scientific models spanning more than 150 years of ETH's history, many exhibited publicly for the first time. Curators Roberta Spano and Dr. Dorothe Zimmermann reveal how these objects made knowledge visible and tangible, and the ideas and discoveries they represent. The exhibition explores the role of models as teaching tools and research instruments, and their lasting influence on how we understand the world. The event is held in German.
