What connects a photograph of St. Mary's Church in Prenzlau with a rock sample of glacial till? Is there a common tool for understanding a crystallographic model and pottery shards from a Cushitic sacred site in Sudan? And what does a lava stone have to do with jihad?

The Weaving of Things - Collection Showcase in the Animal Anatomical Theatre presents diverse perspectives on the scientific collections of Humboldt-Universität. Based on the themes of "use", "origin", "diversity" and "region", visitors can explore a variety of information and connections between the objects. The "Wunderkammer des 21. Jahrhunderts" (Chamber of Wonders of the 21st Century) has individually controllable lighting for each exhibit, which makes the tour through the exhibition that visitors take via app visible in real time.

The virtual tours convey collection practices and forms of use ("practicing", "comparative viewing") and build bridges between scientific disciplines. They create new perspectives on highly topical social issues such as migration. The spectrum of tours is continually being expanded to include further topics, which, for example, make visible contemporary historical classifications ("collected in the GDR",) gender-specific issues ("collecting is a women's matter") and object genres ("models"). Familiar objects and famous people appear as well as lesser-known and surprising objects.

The objects and thematic foci are regularly exchanged, so that the weaving of things always produces new themes and connections.
