I collect, therefore I am – Function, meaning and presentation of a collection

Description

The Johann Caspar Lavater collection contains a wide variety of contemporary objects, autographs, works and pictures by Johann Caspar Lavater (1741–1801).

Last year, the collection was fully digitized, so that the objects will no longer be limited to on-site access, but will be fully digitally accessible from autumn 2024.

During the opening hours of the Johann Caspar Lavater collection, these can be viewed in an installation; selected individual objects are exhibited on site.
