Behind-the-Scenes Tour of the Exhibition “Diversity of Biodiversity”

During mcbw, visitors will have a unique opportunity to take part in guided tours of the exhibition “Diversity of Biodiversity” led by the designers and curators.

The exhibition “Diversity of Biodiversity” has been on display in the main building of LMU since September 30. It was conceived as a platform for science communication and dialogue at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. The foundations for the exhibition’s content and educational approaches were developed through a co-creative workshop. The interdisciplinary collaboration between curation, science communication, and design formed the basis for an exhibition that illuminates the diversity of biodiversity in research in an aesthetically sophisticated and visually engaging way.
Unusual exhibits, explanatory graphics, and accessible texts showcase the breadth of research—from basic research to fieldwork, and from rigorous species identification to visionary ideas. The exhibition features seven scientists from LMU’s Faculty of Biology and their specific fields of research. The focus is on them as individuals, highlighting their unique working methods, visions, and collaborations.
The exhibition exemplifies how close collaboration between science and design can create new approaches to research.
Register now for one of the guided tours and gain first-hand insights—through dialogue with the participants—into the creation and background of the exhibition, as well as the roles and approaches of the teams involved: Tuesday (Curation/Graphic Design Team), Wednesday (Science Communication/Graphic Design Team).
