WHAT'S ON
NEW EXHIBITION FROM 23 April 2024
Philipp Franz von Siebold, born in Würzburg in 1796, was a prominent German physician, naturalist and diplomat who played an important role in bringing knowledge about Japan to Europe. Like many doctors of his time, Siebold was also an excellent biologist who made a great contribution to the field of botany.
Brought together by four different scientific collections of the Ruhr University, this exhibition provides an insight into Siebold's life and work.
