The event series formerly known as the Collection Tours continues under the new title “Collections in Focus.”

Over four evenings in June and July, those interested will be given an insight into selected treasures and collections held by the library: from Bernhard Riemann’s lecture on geometry and the Luther collection to highlights from the Americas collection and the medieval ‘Bellifortis’ manuscript.

The events will take place on Thursdays at 18:00 in the SUB’s historic building. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required.

Please note: This event will be held in German. A good command of German is recommended.
