The special exhibition "Models – shaping knowledge" presents more than 500 historical and contemporary models, many of them on public display for the first time. They come from the collections of ETH Zurich and the University of Zurich and show how models have made knowledge visible and shaped research for over 150 years. The exhibition was curated by Roberta Spano and Dr Dorothe Zimmermann, with scenography by Schmauder Und. Its breadth spans anatomy and geometry to crystallography and aerodynamics.
