The Collegium Curiosum or Collegium Experimentale was a twenty-member scientific society founded by Johann Sturm, a professor at the University of Altdorf,[1] in 1672.[2] It was based on the model of the Florentine Accademia del Cimento.[2] Sturm published two volumes of the academy's proceedings in Nuremberg, under the title Collegium Experimentale sive Curiosum (1676 and 1685).[2] It was as much a private club as a formal academy,[3] and a lot of the time seems to have been spent with Sturm demonstrating experiments to the other members.[1]
