In light of the city's 2020/21 anniversary, the Uniseum at the University of Freiburg is offering a special treat. Based on the theme "Uniseum goes public," the museum is planning city tours to various University sites throughout the city. A total of five discovery tours will be held between July 1 and 24, 2021.
"The purpose of the tours is to demonstrate how closely interlinked the city's history is with that of the University's," explains Sandra Haas, curator at the Uniseum. The city tours are financed with money provided by the Alumni Freiburg sponsoring association for the city anniversary program.
