"Valuable objects" –The collections of the Johannes Gutenberg University are valuable objects in many ways. They comprise not only thousands of objects of recognisable historical, cultural and aesthetic value but also apparently irrelevant objects which are equally important for research and teaching. They are references and objects for research, visualise theories and ideas and provide teaching resources for students. Additionally, the collections are testimonies of the scientific and historical development and build sensually tangible connections between university and public. For the first time, this volume combines all collections and shows their fascinating varieties with numerous photographs. Researchers and teachers give an insight in lecture rooms and laboratories, take the readers on a study tour and convey an impression of the work with these items. Additionally, the volume combines objects of different collections and encourages new and interdisciplinary views.
