»It is a pleasant business to study nature and oneself at the same time, without doing violence to either, but to bring both into balance with each other through gentle interplay.« – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: Proverbs in Prose 1.369
The new permanent exhibition at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena, curated by Helmut Hühn (Jena) and Margrit Wyder (Zurich), is a place where the fundamentals of Goethe's study of nature are brought to mind and at the same time the sciences and their history are explored.
Involved in teaching, research and transfer, the Goethe-Laboratorium is to be developed as a university location that brings the humanities and natural sciences into interaction and links them with the cognitive achievements of the arts.
