This guided tour with curators Roberta Spano and Dr. Dorothe Zimmermann showcases over 500 scientific models from more than 150 years of ETH history, many displayed publicly for the first time. The objects provide insights into the ideas, questions and discoveries of different scientific eras, demonstrating how models made knowledge visible and comprehensible.
