What will tomorrow’s energy supply look like—and what aspects of it are already a reality in Jena today? The City of Jena’s exhibition “ENERGY—WHAT MOVES US” provides answers to these and other questions about the energy transition.

Artistically crafted specimens and easy-to-understand models convey the fundamentals of anatomy and offer fascinating insights into the body’s inner workings. The historical significance of this 200-year-old collection can be experienced, for example, through Goethe’s intermaxillary specimens.

The exhibition "Images & Building Blocks" focuses on birds and insects. Through his documentary nature photography, Hubert Mahr aims to highlight the fascinating diversity of local habitats and draw attention to details that are often overlooked.

We offer guided tours, hands-on activities, and interesting exhibits.

Experiencing Quantum Technology – The Future of Secure Communication

Insects are by far the most species-rich class of animals. They inhabit the most unusual habitats. But what makes them so successful? We introduce the subjects of our research and discuss their lifestyles and their contribution to science.

Making its debut! Take a look at the fascinating plant collection at the Haussknecht Herbarium. Discover what a plant specimen more than 100 years old reveals about the future—and how AI helps us unravel the mysteries of plants!

Glass research and manufacturing, preform production, fiber drawing, fiber post-processing, characterization, and fiber applications—the Leibniz-IPHT Center of Excellence brings together the entire value chain for specialty optical fibers under one roof.

With Robo-Power, we're fighting the antibiotic crisis. Visit our unique robotics platform, JenXplor!

How do doctors identify tumor boundaries? Why do middle ear infections occur? And how do modern technologies help us better understand diseases?

How can we learn about our Earth from space? In “Adventure in Space,” we introduce you to technologies that reach for the stars.

Send digital data securely using “magical” light particles, or create images out of thin air! Researchers at Fraunhofer IOF are developing state-of-the-art systems to protect our data and diagnose diseases using quantum technologies.

ZEISS planetariums make the universe accessible and understandable to everyone around the world. We’ll take you on a journey through the depths of space and show you how modern knowledge comes to life in the planetarium.

Anyone who knows the Bible even a little bit has a clear advantage in art history.

How and where do the scientists conduct their research? We invite you to join us for an informative tour of the FLI’s new laboratory building, where we’ll share some interesting facts about the “art in architecture” featured in the building.
