Objects from the TUM.Archive

If Things Could Speak

The TUM.Archiv presents selected objects from its holdings: Old and used, forgotten and dusty, restored and rescued items that illuminate a piece of TUM history. The wooden casket bearing two seals of the former Weihenstephan University of Agriculture and Brewery – a cigar box misappropriated for a specific purpose – came to the TUM.Archiv as a new addition in 2020. Together with a collection of coins and medals, it was given to the archive. It contains a nine-piece hand-forged chemist’s cutlery set.
