Auditorium

The Auditorium of Göttingen, Germany is an old lecture building dating back to the year 1865 CE. It has a representative facade and at the beginning it included rooms for 20 to 100 students. Already in 1903 a lecture hall for up to 250 students – the Auditorium maximum or Audimax – was added.

Since 1987 it hosts the art collection of the university that dates back to the year 1736. It is therefore the oldest art collection of a university in Germany. It includes 300 paintings, 2.500 drawings, 15.000 prints, 100 videos, 10.000 photos and 100 sculptures. You can find works of Dürer, Botticelli, Rembrandt, Nolde and Beckmann there.
