District Museum in the Juleum opens exhibition on university history
A new special exhibition in the Juleum sheds light on the everyday life of students and professors at the former Helmstedt university.
The District Museum in the Juleum opens a major special exhibition on the history of the Academia Julia in 2026. On display are original documents, prints and objects from more than two centuries of university history — from matriculation registers to scientific instruments. Set in the magnificent Renaissance hall, the exhibition invites visitors to trace academic life in early-modern Helmstedt. It is accompanied by guided tours through the Juleum and up the Hausmann's tower. The show runs into the autumn.
