Topics in Empirical Finance: Visit to the Archive of the Avant-Gardes
On May 12, 2026, more than 50 students from our seminar “Topics in Empirical Finance: The Art of Finance” visited the Archive of the Avant-Gardes – Egidio Marzona (ADA) in Dresden. During the three-hour field trip, they received an introduction to the archive’s work and mission, followed by insights into its extensive collection.
The visit is part of the seminar in the summer semester of 2026, which explores the intersection of finance, innovation, and art. Building on the field trip, students will examine, among other questions, whether the archive contains links to financial innovations, financial artifacts, or influential figures in the financial sector.
We sincerely thank the team of the Archive of the Avant-Gardes for the valuable insights and the excellent introduction to the collection. We would also like to express our special thanks for the selection of finance-related archival materials prepared by the ADA team, which was presented to the students during the visit.
