Der Besuch lohnt. Vorausgesetzt man interessiert sich ein wenig für Heidelberger Historie.

Das Universitätsmuseum Heidelberg, untergebracht im historischen barocken Hauptgebäude der Alten Universität, ist ein echtes Highlight für Geschichtsinteressierte. Aufgeteilt in drei Räume, bietet es einen faszinierenden Einblick in sechs Jahrhunderte bewegter Heidelberger Universitätsgeschichte. Ich schätze den ermäßigten Eintritt und komme immer wieder gerne hierher, um mehr über diesen wichtigen Teil der Stadtgeschichte zu erfahren.

An sich interessantes Museum über die Geschichte der Universität Heidelberg. Museumspädagogisch jedoch leider nicht mehr auf dem neuesten Stand. Die Texte auf den Tafeln sind einerseits extrem kompliziert, altmodisch und hochgestochen formuliert, sodass sie nicht für jeden verständlich sind. Hinzu kommt, dass die Texttafeln nicht barrierearm sind: der Kontrast zum Hintergrund ist extrem gering und noch dazu spiegelt das Glas. Hier sollte dringend nachgebessert werden!
