As part of the Long Night of Science, we’ll be printing a souvenir right here on site that you’re welcome to pick up. You’ll also learn exactly how 3D printing works.
Collection items, forest maps, museum inventories: Experience firsthand how we’re using AI to digitally catalog Thuringia’s cultural treasures. And beneath the ThULB, the Fürstenkeller—dating back to 1532—awaits exploration—one of the largest vaulted cellars in Germany.
