Special Exhibitions

The special exhibitions of the Museum of the University of Tübingen deal with changing topics and offer comprehensive information and background. Depending on what is on offer, they can also be visited in addition to the permanent exhibitions.

Current

The invisible exhibition

Two apparent contradictions characterize this unusual project: First, the attempt to translate the "invisible" into a "visual experience" such as an exhibition – the result is a cautious, delicate and almost mysterious act within the MUT's permanent exhibition, and must be discovered by the visitors themselves. And secondly, the contrast of ancient art with completely new, contemporary objects by the Regensburg artist Stefan Göler.

The special exhibition can be seen in the Museum Ancient Cultures | Hohentübingen Castle until 10.1.2020.

Opening postponed

The special exhibition at Hohentübingen Castle will show two manuscripts from the Heide and Wolfgang Voelter Collection, which were donated to the manuscript collection of Tübingen University Library. The works contain Sanskrit texts, including the famous Bhagavadgītā ("Song of the Sublime") and the 1000 Names of Vishnu, both with beautiful miniatures on Indian mythology.
