extract brings you closer to big topics at the interface between society and ETH research in a small space. The exhibitions and the supporting programme serve as a showcase for various research areas and provide food for thought. You will experience a curated concentrate of the collections and archives, a carefully prepared distillate – or, in other words, an extract. In extract, you will find a curated selection of objects and documents from the collections and archives of ETH Zurich.
We aim to make our events at ETH Zurich as accessible as possible to everyone. Please let us know in good time what support you require.
Within the exhibition itself, accessibility and visibility may vary depending on the exhibition and may be partially restricted.
