Let us tell you the story of Tycho Brahe

Join us for an exciting display that takes a holistic approach to Tycho Brahe. We hear about his curiosity and science and see recovered instruments, as well as some original objects in the exhibition. By visiting the sites of his castle and observatory, Uraniborg and Stjärneborg, as well as the surrounding Renaissance Garden, we get as broad a picture as possible of Tycho Brahe. The focus is his work in astronomy, medicine and paper manufacture.

In the company of the museum’s gardener we learn about a lesser known and fascinating part of Tycho’s activities on Ven, alchemy and botany. We look at the Renaissance Garden art and how the shapes hold symbolism. The exciting use of plants in the context of medicine manufacturing in Tycho’s laboratory in Uraniborg’s basement is also addressed and we hear about his first assistant and sister, Sophie Brahe, who was active in botany and astrology.
