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

21.2.2020 to 12.9.2021

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.
