Anniversary exhibition "200 years of KIT - 100 objects. Parts of the whole. Selected objects from the history of KIT."
ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medien
Lorenzstraße 19 …

The exhibition on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of KIT's foundation presents its history in 100 objects. This selection conveys the identity of KIT based on the development of its predecessor institutions. In the loose selection of exhibits, it becomes clear how KIT's current university mission evolved from the teaching of technology that began in 1825, and how large-scale research developed from the work begun in 1956 to develop a new energy source. The individual objects initially speak for themselves, without being forced into any particular order. Just browsing through them reveals such diverse aspects as the development of the scientific subject area, the teaching activities and also some details of everyday life in one of the largest and oldest scientific institutions in Germany.
 
The opening hours of the exhibition are based on the opening hours of the ZKM | Center for Art and Technology.
