From "Slimy!" to "Legged!" and now: "Immortal?": the scientific variety show Glitzern & Denken invites you to its brilliant finale. Artists and museum staff examine the topics of life and death from different angles and define how death contrasts with life.
"Immortal?" explores the question of why the Museum für Naturkunde mainly shows dead objects while the museum is dedicated to exploring the diversity of life on our planet. How do you tell about life with dead objects and what do they teach us about life? Among other things, we will take a look at the museum's taxidermy and paleopathology.
Glitzern & Denken combines art with science and underground with high culture – music, artistry and stories enter into a creative dialogue with science. In the museum, a space is thus created in which people from different backgrounds talk about science at eye level. At the center: fascination and curiosity for nature.
The project "Glitzern & Denken – das Wissenschaftsvarieté im Museum für Naturkunde Berlin" opens a new kind of dialogue between culture, science and society. Project partners are the Ensemble Salon Fähig and Wissenschaft im Dialog. The project is funded by the LOTTO-Stiftung Berlin.
