A Time Travel into the Display Case: Experience Charles Darwin in Braunschweig

At the State Natural History Museum Braunschweig, natural history comes to life on June 19, 2026. The costume tour In the Footsteps of Charles Darwin provides insight into the display case, historical specimens, and the intellectual movement of the 19th century, when new scientific interpretations changed the thinking about life and evolution.

A Museum Room with Literary Presence

The tour combines scientific mediation with a strong scenic idea. A contemporary of Darwin leads visitors through the museum's collection, granting insights behind the scenes and framing the collection with anecdotes, work methods from the penultimate century, and cultural-historical context. This creates a literary experience between knowledge and visualization.

Darwin's Thinking as Cultural History

The evening in the display case refers to the beginnings of the theory of evolution and to that historical moment when traditional thought was questioned. The museum uses the costume tour to intertwine natural science, the history of science, and narrative art. It is precisely this connection that makes the event captivating: expertise is not conveyed dryly but atmospherically condensed.

The Display Case as a Stage for Specimens

With its historical objects, showcases, and collection pieces, the display case offers an unusually dense reading atmosphere for all who appreciate museums as places of wonder. The event is aimed at visitors seeking cultural education, museum didactics, and a lively encounter with authors in historical garb.
