The exhibition is dedicated to Leibniz’s ideas and innovations and draws connections between the past and the present. The tour is intended for students, members of teaching staff and guests of Leibniz University Hannover. Guided by the motto “experiencing and understanding Leibniz”, visitors encounter the world of the great science communicator and Leibniz University Hannover namesake, whose ideas and thoughts continue to inspire us to this day.

Dr. Ariane Walsdorf of Communications and Marketing is a Leibniz researcher and an expert on his calculating machines. In her guided tours of the exhibition, she focuses on Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz's work, explaining the context of the individual models, providing perspectives on cultural history, and thus bringing Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and his era to life for the visitors.

Dates

Depending on demand and the resources available, roughly four guided tours are offered each year.

Special tours for children (from the 5th grade), group tours, and tours in English are available in exceptional cases. Please contact Communications and Marketing for more information
