Sprengel-Museum

Opened in 1979, the Sprengel Museum Hannover, with its comprehensive Collection and diverse programme of temporary exhibitions, ranks among the major art museums of the 20th century.

The museum today builds on the original collection owned by Dr Bernhard Sprengel, who favoured German Expressionism and French Modern Art. The museum holds on average 25 temporary exhibitions each year, numerous symposia and several different series of lectures. It also offers a comprehensive educational programme. The Sprengel Museum thus provides a lively forum for art and art studies.

Learning Lab Lower Saxony

L3S is a center of competence where co-operative research projects, which focus on "collaborative learning technologies for lifelong learning", are carried out. The projects are realized using open source software, creating new technical infrastructures and by sharing and communicating the experiences of the project groups. The catalyzing and disseminating effect of these measures will ensure that new technologies become an integral part of teaching. A major focus of the projects is the communication of L3S research results to the participating higher education institutes and universities.
