Anita Hermannstädter

Anita Hermannstädter is a historian and curator of several exhibitions relating to the history of science. Together with Ina Heumann, she manages the department »PAN – Perspectives on Nature« in the research area of Public Engagement with Science at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. PAN’s research projects relate to the interface between culture and art and raise similar questions concerning objects and collections of objects in natural science institutions as the base project »Mobile Objects«, which the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin helped shape. This has resulted in further opportunities for collaborations, including the »Knowing Things« conference, organised by PAN in spring 2015.
