The Forum Wissen of the University of Göttingen is a meeting place where knowledge is conveyed, reflected upon, discussed and created.
The Museum of Knowledge addresses the question: How is knowledge actually created? In the Spaces of Knowledge, there are over 1,400 objects from the University’s diverse collections to discover. Changing special exhibitions focus on what currently moves science and society. In this way, we help to facilitate social exchange and create spaces in which people can learn from one another.
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
Admission free!
