The Biological-Agricultural Institute Amani, founded in 1904, was a German showcase project of applied scientific research in the Tanzanian Usambara highlands. Here - first by European, later by Tanzanian scientists - agriculture and forestry, tropical diseases and flora and fauna of the rainforest were studied. The exhibition deals with the ambivalent remains of German colonial science, whose pearl Amani once was.
