An evening between science, collections, and wine
With TASTED, the Forum Wissen in Göttingen opens an unusually sensory access to the world of collections. On the evening of October 8, 2026, selected objects from the university will meet wines from the traditional wine shop Bremer in the exhibition Rooms of Knowledge. Accompanied by Christine Nawa and the stories of those who oversee the collections, the event combines museum experience, object observation, and conversation culture into an atmospheric event with educational value.
The collection as a living space for thought
At the center is the Collection of Botanical Wet Preparations, a fascinating example of how scientific preparations can create not only knowledge but also aesthetic experience. Plants preserved in transparent vessels reveal form, structure, and color with special clarity. It is in the museum space that a quiet, concentrated observation of the work unfolds, sharpening the view for materiality, morphology, and historical knowledge structures.
Forum Wissen: a place for cultural education
The Forum Wissen sees itself as a house of science communication and as an open space between museum, research, and urban society. The basic exhibition Rooms of Knowledge invites visitors to experience collections not as rigid stocks, but as living testimonies of research, teaching, and cultural memory. This is exactly where TASTED unfolds its charm: an evening that brings scientific objects, curatorial mediation, and personal conversations together in an unusually approachable exhibition atmosphere.
This is how the evening will be experienced on site
Even before the event starts, there is an opportunity to discover the diversity of Göttingen’s collections in the exhibition. Tickets are available at the wine shop Bremer or at the box office in Forum Wissen from 4:30 PM on the evening of the event. The Forum Wissen support association requests a donation starting from 10 euros. This creates an accessible entry to an evening that conveys knowledge not in an abstract way, but in a sensory and dialogical manner.
Science meets enjoyment
The combination of wine, collection culture, and narrated object stories gives the event a special tension. The artistic experience in the broader sense here arises not through classical painting or sculpture, but through the staging of scientific objects in space, through light, glass, texture, and narrative. Those who visit Forum Wissen will experience how curation becomes a cultural form and how collections gain new meaning through conversation.
Conclusion: TASTED is an evening for all who appreciate museums as places of vibrant knowledge. The event connects exhibition, science, and enjoyment for an inspiring Göttingen evening and is worth it for all who want to experience cultural education in its most sensory form. Definitely worth discovering live.
