The World of Molecular Biology - an EMBL exhibition

Come and be curious with us!

The European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) is the leading institute of molecular biology research within Europe and consists of laboratories at six sites. Its biggest site and headquarters was founded in Heidelberg in 1974.

EMBL’s new permanent exhibition “The World of Molecular Biology” celebrates molecular biology with a focus on the science, people, and technologies of EMBL.

The exhibition takes the visitor on a journey of scales, from genomes to ecosystems, and introduces the imaging technologies that shed light (and electrons) on the processes that keep our bodies running. More than 45 exhibits invite visitors from 14 years of age to engage with science and its relevance for individuals and society at large – for example through fundamental insights into the development and prevention of cancer.

One day a week is dedicated to visits by members of the public and school groups that wish to discover the exhibition in guided tours. All visits must be pre-booked.
