Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Leipzig
Anniversary exhibition "Enlightenment of the World"
This period serves to illustrate the important role played by Leipzig and Central Germany in the history of education throughout the whole of Germany and Europe. From its founding in the late Middle Ages, Universität Leipzig helped to shape the history of science in Saxony, Germany and Europe. This is especially true of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The themes covered by the exhibition range from astronomy to mining, botany and other life sciences, medicine and law through to art, music, theatre and literature. Original technical instruments, preparations, surgical tools, manuscripts, paintings and musical instruments, as well as theatre designs, shed light on the past while at the same time illustrating their importance for modern-day society.
Opening times: Tuesday to Sunday 10 am - 6 pm
