Come and listen to a reading of the picture books ‘Ada und die Zahlen-Knack-Maschine’ by Zoë, Tucker , ‘Sibylla und der Tulpenraub’ by Benita Roth, and ‘Ida und die Welt hinterm Kaiserzipf’ by Linda Schwalbe. 

Alexander & Wilhelm von Humboldt, Christopher Columbus, Marco Polo, James Cook – just men? No! Women also travelled the world, made ground-breaking inventions, discovered new things and wrote down their journals. Three of them are the main characters in this programme: Maria Sibylla Marian, Ada Lovelace and Ida Pfeiffer.

The books are exciting for everyone aged three and over.

 

In the Humboldt Forum's foyer there is a 17 meter high media tower, called "cosmograph". It gives visitors comprehensive information about their visit and can transform into an art and light installation.
