It is one of the most complex structures that nature has ever created. It develops curiosity, creativity, consciousness and emotions: the human brain. The new permanent exhibition provides an insight into this extraordinary, still not fully understood organ that defines us as individuals.
One of the highlight exhibits is the brain of Frankfurt football legend Karl-Heinz ‘Charly’ Körbel. Complex perceptual processes can be experienced through football. Central functions of our thinking apparatus, the perception of animals and the evolution of brains can also be experienced in a playful way and with the help of augmented reality.
Contemporary media and computer artist Tim Berresheim has designed an unusual exhibition display as a spatial sculpture.
