EXPLORING THE MUSEUM ON YOUR OWN
There are two options for you to explore the Spaces of Knowledge on your own. While all texts in our exhibitions are available in English and in German, the following options are currently available in German only:
The Audio Walks: Each of these audio walks focuses on a specific topic, accompanied by expert perspectives from different scientists. The topics are: “Science under National Socialism”, “Science and colonialism”, “Heroines in science”, “Gender and science” and “The Moon Committee”, a children’s tour for people aged 9 and over.
They are available via the Forum Wissen app – using your own smartphone or a rental device. Headphones are also available at the information desk.
The card sets for families and young people: they contain exciting questions that make you think. This makes the tour of the exhibition even more fun! The free card sets are available at the information desk.
