A Sunday in the Sign of the Collection: Discover COLLECTED with the Exhibition Team

On Sunday, September 13, 2026, a concentrated artistic experience of a special kind opens at the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe: the Sunday tour with the exhibition team through the large special exhibition COLLECTED. The tour led by Anja Sattler M.Sc. takes participants deep into an exhibition concept that makes the logic of collecting, ordering, and storytelling visible and places the objects themselves at the center.

When Objects Become Stories

COLLECTED focuses on the hidden connections of natural history collections. Several million objects in the museum not only preserve scientific data but also cultural, historical, and aesthetic experiences. The tour deepens this perspective and makes it understandable how knowledge spaces emerge from collected items.

Curating as Sensory Artwork Examination

The exhibition atmosphere combines museum precision with vivid communication. Those who look closely do not merely experience a sequence of exhibits but a careful curation that relates forms, materials, and contexts. This is precisely where the strength of natural history exhibition practice lies: science becomes an aesthetic experience without losing its claim to knowledge.

Natural History, Research, and Cultural Education

The State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe is one of Germany's major research museums and connects collection, preservation, research, and education. The special exhibition opens access to themes such as biodiversity, taxonomy, the history of collecting, and museum knowledge production. For art and culture enthusiasts, this creates an interdisciplinary view of the museum's role as a place of dialogue between science and the public.

A Tour for the Curious, Families, and Collection Fans

This guided tour provides space for questions, discoveries, and in-depth observations. Those interested in exhibition tours, museum education, and the storytelling power of objects will find a well-founded yet inspiring approach here. Especially appealing is the connection between specialist mediation and immediate artwork examination in the space.

Conclusion: This Sunday tour makes visible how a multifaceted exhibition narrative emerges from natural history collections. Anyone wanting to experience culture in Karlsruhe on this Sunday should not miss this artistic experience at the museum.
