Plant Diversity 1969–2019

The Botanical Garden of the University of Tübingen has been located on the Morgenstelle for the last 50 years.

The anniversary exhibition presents the complete history of the Botanical Garden in Tübingen, which is already several centuries old.
EX MACHINA
Leonardo da Vinci's machines between science and art
3rd May until 1st December 2019
On the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Leonardo da Vinci’s death on the 2nd May, 1519, the Museum of the University of Tübingen will present an extensive and surprisingly orchestrated exhibition with more than 50 replicas of machine designs by the universal genie in the Hohentübingen Castle. Unlike any other, Leonardo connected the knowledge of the art, science and technology era – the way it is mirrored in the large, universal collection of the University of Tübingen.
