About

Automatically translated from German

The exhibition showcases mathematical plaster models, crystal forms, anatomical models and aircraft models from ETH Zurich's wind tunnel. Many of these objects are on public display for the first time, revealing how researchers since the 19th century have made the invisible visible and gained new knowledge through models.
