Special Exhibition
Current: “Rocky Roads to Life”
For billions of years, the world of rocks and the world of life have been closely linked through the action of water. As a result, the mineral diversity of the earth and biological development are connected.
The new special exhibition “Rocky Roads to Life” focuses on the close relationship between rock and life. The exhibits open up various paths that lead to the origins, relationships and characteristics of the living world. These paths lead to three questions that run through the exhibition as a common thread: What role do rocks play in the origin of life? What interrelationships exist between rocks and life? And what is actually different about a living being compared to a rock?Three paths lead through this exhibition:
- from rocks to life
- from life to rocks
- about the difference between the two
The aim of the exhibition is to show unusual paths to a deeper understanding of life in dialog with the rocks and to raise awareness of the fact that the geosphere and biosphere have been closely linked and connected by constant change since the beginning of life.
