Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt. Berlin Cosmos (gebundenes Buch)

Wilhelm and Alexander von Humboldt - together with the Brothers Grimm - are certainly the most famous German siblings. In the early nineteenth century, the freedom-loving cosmopolitans awakened their hometown of Berlin from its slumber in the fields of science and education. Berlin Cosmos focuses on the question of how and where this took place in the Prussian royal seat and documents the Humboldts' Berlin with over thirty objects and comprehensive essays.
