Exhibitions at the Institute
The Foyer of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development offers a unique and inspiring space for art exhibitions. Artists have been invited to show their work here since the 1970s.
In 2009, the Institute also initiated an exhibition of the works of Hermann Fehling and Daniel Gogel, the architects who designed the building. An extensive catalog was published to complement the exhibition. Further information (in German) can be found at www.fehling-gogel.de.
