Item Number: 132516 Title: "Ich sehe wunderbare Dinge" - 100 Jahre Sammlungen der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main Author: Trümpler, Charlotte (et al) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9783775738446 Description: Stuttgart: Hatje Cantz, 2014. 29cm., hardcover, 400pp., 664 illus. Exhibition held at Museum Giersch, Frankfurt. German text. Summary: The history of Frankfurt am Main’s Goethe University is reflected in its extensive study collections. Individual departments, the library, and the university archives maintain approximately forty collections, some of which remain hidden away in attics, offices, and on basement shelves. As a whole, this multifaceted store of knowledge represents a kaleidoscopic history of the earth and humankind spanning 4.6 billion years. Thirty-four million sculptures, books, films, fossils, plants, and comic books—including items from fields such as medicine, archaeology, theater sciences, zoology, and youth culture—are in part still actively integrated in teaching and research or now simply testify to the history of their respective disciplines. In celebration of the centenary of the university’s founding, the catalogue presents a selection of these objects accompanied by vivid descriptions of their histories and also provides a look over the shoulders of various scholars involved in contemporary research.
