TUM Center for Culture and Arts

We are creating a diverse cultural program for the university community – to discover hidden talents, broaden horizons, and to gain inspiration for new ways of thinking and working – with the offerings of the TUM Center for Culture and Arts.

Music, literature, fine arts, performing arts or digital arts: With wide-ranging programs, we forge ties to innovation and technology, politics, history and society. All members of the TUM community − and friends of TUM − are invited to take part: expand your horizons and embrace new ways of thinking.

Current Projects

TUM tanzt!

TUM tanzt! (TUM dances!) is a joint project by TUM Center for Culture and Arts with the TUM School of Medicine and Health, Applied Sports Sciences. It’s a contribution to the Kunstareal Festival 2025. Through workshops, performances, and collaborative projects, TUM demonstrates the many ways dance can serve as an expression of culture, education, and research. The events invite not only spectatorship, but participation —creating a shared space for encounter, reflection, and creative inspiration at the intersection of science and art.

Sonic Revolutions

The art installation Heaven’s Carousel by Tim Otto Roth will be presented at the Kunstareal from June 27 to July 13. Starting at the Kunstareal Festival, this expansive sound installation featuring 36 glowing speaker spheres will spin above Munich for the first time: like celestial bodies, they rotate above the audience, creating microtonal overtone compositions in space. Accompanying the installation, the international symposium “Tu(r)ning Space”  will take place on July 4 and 5 at TUM. Sonic Revolutions is a collaborative project between the Professorship of Audio Information Processing, Prof. Bernhard Seeber, the TUM Center for Culture and Arts, and the artist. The project is funded by TUM University FoundationDFG, Aventis Foundation and Sparkassenstiftung.

More about our cultural partnership with the Kammerspiele

Art meets Technology

Look forward to experimental projects and events, just like in-depth discussions of an introductions into current theatre productions. Together with the Munich Kammerspiele theater, link science and art in creative and often surprising ways, opening up new insights into technological developments through artistic reflections. This means not only sharing scientific knowledge, but also expanding the understanding of society in the world of research. More inspiring projects are on the horizon:
