Dresden Technology Collections
The Technical Collections Dresden serve as both a museum and a science center. They connect key questions of current technological, cultural, and societal development with Dresden’s tradition as a high-tech location in their exhibitions and educational programs. The Math Adventure Land and diverse museum educational offerings invite visitors to experiment independently and playfully discover natural phenomena, scientific methods, and technical fundamentals. The exhibition “Cloud 8. The Climate and Us” in the Ernemann Tower provides information and promotes exchange about climate change. Changing exhibitions showcase works of regional and international photographic art. A café in the 48-meter-high Ernemann Tower offers a magnificent view over Dresden.

Physics of Life
The special exhibition “Physics of Life” at the Dresden Technical Collections offers fascinating insights into the physical foundations of life until October 27, 2024. In collaboration with the Excellence Cluster ‘Physics of Life’ at TU Dresden, scientists from physics, biology, and computer science explore the laws that govern the structure and development of living matter in cells, molecules, and tissues. The exhibition illustrates how a fertilized egg develops into a complex organism and highlights the scientific questions that remain unanswered.
Highlights and Activities
The exhibition’s highlights include spectacular microscopic video recordings and detailed models that depict life at the smallest scale. Visitors can explore interactive elements and hands-on experimental stations that illustrate the complex processes of cell function and tissue development.
