UDO – the first pedestrian

Danuvius guggenmosi – the upright walking ape from the Allgäu is presented to the public for the first time. Based on the reconstruction of the skeleton of the male individual Udo, the show provides a close-up view of this internationally acclaimed find, which questions previous hypotheses on the evolution of the upright gait.

The special exhibition can be seen in the Museum Ancient Cultures | Hohentübingen Castle until 1.11.2020.

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.

Morgan O'Hara – „Life and Meaning... it's personal“

In autumn 2019, the MUT hosted the stundent-workshop "Life and Meaning... it's personal" together with the "Invited Artist" of the university, Morgan O'Hara, at Hohentübingen Castle. In direct contact with the artist numerous exciting artistic testimonies of this encounter were created, which are now presented to the public in a special exhibition by the MUT.

The special exhibition can be seen in the Museum Ancient Cultures | Hohentübingen Castle until 6.9.2020.
