Gregor Mendel celebrates his 200th birthday: Varied birthday program from April to September

31 March 2022

The world's most famous pea counter celebrates his 200th birthday in 2022! In cooperation with BIOTOPIA, the Museum Mensch und Natur and the Museum Educational Center, the Botanic Garden Munich-Nymphenburg offers all visitors a colorful and diverse program around Gregor Mendel, who laid the foundation for a new branch of biology with his crossing experiments on peas: genetics.

In the BIOTOPIA Lab, visitors follow in Mendel's footsteps! As part of the Mendel activity program, the workshop "The Code of Life" awaits you on selected weekends. You can isolate the DNA of a banana yourself, learn about the building blocks of our own life and enter the world of genetics.

We will also playfully explain what "dominant" and "recessive" mean and have a special highlight in store: so-called "Wisconsin Fast Plants". These fast-growing plants illustrate Mendel's three rules by means of the colors of their stems, among other things, and serve us for exciting crossbreeding experiments.

The program for the Mendel Year 2022 is available on our Mendel Page!
