With our various exhibition formats we would like to foster exchange and discussion between science and the public. The special exhibitions focus on current topics, provide interdisciplinary perspectives or invite visitors to engage in current debates involving the collections of the University of Göttingen. Unlike the core exhibition, which is interdisciplinary in nature, special exhibitions may focus on a single discipline or on a single collection. These can be integrated as interventions in the so-called open spaces of the core exhibition, take place in the separate exhibition space Freiraum (80 square metres) or in our large special exhibition area (360 square metres).
The open spaces, which are scattered throughout the core exhibition, present current research and science topics from different disciplines. With six display cases they complement our core exhibition providing space for innovative ideas from students, researchers of the Göttingen campus or civil society.

The Forum Wissen presents a space where “burning” topics are discussed and negotiated publicly on a permanent basis. The Central Custody, the Forum Wissen team, is responsible for and curates all special exhibitions. Depending on the topic, this is done in co-operation with partners from the university, from non-university institutions on the Göttingen Campus, with cultural institutions in the region or other partners.
++ Please not that our exhibition programme (open space and special exhibition area) are fully booked for the next years. ++
