The University of Hamburg has numerous collections and museums at its disposal that include a number of scientific treasures. Since 2011 a University task group has been working on better networking of the institutions with the participation of Universität Hamburg Marketing GmbH. The collections are to become better known and public access improved. The medium-term goal is the collection's permanent establishment in the Hamburg museum landscape. A first step on this path was the special promotion day »Hamburg's Treasures« at the end of 2012, to which the public was invited for the first day to marvel at what had been hidden away. The Night of Science on November 02 2013 was another chance to discover a selection of treasures. Additional information and an overview of institutions and opening hours can be found on the website of museums and collections.
