The University Museum Freiburg is more than just a museum, engaging museum exhibits, original artworks and photographs from different eras bring to life the experience of studying in Freiburg. The old university rooms nearly 150 years ago served as the central administrative offices of the Albertina and are still used today by some university research institutes. The ground floor is the home of this museum. Here the university merges past and present. The museum presents an exhibition of the 550-year history of the University of Freiburg, as well as a meeting place for students and teachers attending lectures and seminars and a venue for special events.
