To reflect the universe in miniature – nothing less was the ambition of Renaissance cabinets of curiosities. Over more than four generations, the Pohl-Goldschmidt Cabinet of Curiosities has amassed objects devoted primarily to the scientific and mathematical understanding of the world. 150 masterpieces from the Gothic and Renaissance periods, when science and art were still one, are being presented for the first time at the Arithmeum in Bonn.
Join us on an expedition to a time when content and form were of equal value. Understanding went hand in hand with wonder. Faith and knowledge complemented one another. All seriousness was always underpinned by playfulness and creativity, and above all by an insatiable desire for beauty.
