There are more than 6,000 human languages. But language is also a single thing: all humans have it, and it’s a shared property that unites us, rooted in a species-specific brain.
Talking Brains aims to exhibit our brain from the point of view of its linguistic functions: a scientific approach to language that stresses its psychological and biological constitution and its indissoluble link with neuroscience, genetics, anatomy, or human evolution.
Visitors can explore interactive exhibits that look at linguistic diversity, the evolution of language and the brain, and how we learn language.
