Known in the Leipzig area as "the house with the spider", the Leipzig Natural History Museum is dedicating its new temporary exhibition to its own history this time. The start of construction work on the new Natural History Museum on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz also marks the beginning of the museum's departure from its current location on Lortzingstraße. Over the years, many generations of museum employees have left their mark on the building and shaped it into an educational, identification and favorite place for the city community.
In a final major farewell exhibition, the museum team will be showing personal favorites and providing an interactive insight into its collections and the work in the various departments. At the same time, we look back on 100 years of museum work in the "House with the Spider".
Until the opening of the new building on Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz, the exhibition will be constantly changing - an experiment in which new stories, objects and perspectives from the museum's various departments will be presented every six months.
Botany is dedicated to the important question "Why do we collect?" and shines the spotlight on the often forgotten: Women in Botany.
