MS experimenta in Düsseldorf

In the organizer's words:

Floating world of knowledge tours Germany - MS experimenta on the move again in 2024

Hands-on stations, exciting films and workshops to experiment with: A unique experience awaits the whole family on board the MS experimenta. From June 19 to November 10, the ship of Germany's largest science center will be on tour again, calling at 20 stations in Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia.

From the Neckar via the Rhine, Main, Wesel-Datteln and Dortmund-Ems canals: On its 2024 tour, the MS experimenta will call at a total of 20 locations, bringing science and technology to life. 2024 will be marked by various festivals. Immediately after the first stop in Speyer, where the ship's crew will welcome visitors on board from June 19 to 23, it will head to the KI Festival in Heilbronn. The ship reaches Frankfurt via Hirschhorn and Gernsheim, just in time for the Osthafen Festival. In Emmerich, we are close to the border with the Netherlands and make a detour to Münster. On October 3, it's "Doors open with the mouse" in Duisburg. Then the MS experimenta returns to home waters to take part in the Science Festival in Stuttgart from October 15 to 20. At the end of the tour, we will be celebrating the 1250th anniversary of the town of Haßmersheim.

Discover, marvel and understand: Hands-on fun on board

On the MS experimenta, visitors become active themselves and get to the bottom of exciting everyday questions. There is never a dull moment, with around 20 hands-on stations, workshops and craft activities as well as films under the 360-degree dome of the Mini Dome providing plenty of variety.
The exhibition with its hands-on stations is divided into two areas: In the "You are science" section, young and old can learn amazing things about humans, their development and their special abilities: How did modern humans evolve? How does thinking take place? And what happens during the ageing process? The answers to these questions can be found here. In the "You create knowledge" section of the exhibition, everyone can try out and discover their own skills at the interactive stations.

Lively learning and 360-degree adventures

Young researchers can get to the bottom of things in the workshop area, where they can tinker and experiment to their heart's content. They learn how to use pipettes and test tubes or determine the acidity of a liquid with red cabbage juice.

The Mini Dome offers an exciting movie journey. With its inflatable 360-degree projection dome, it provides a first impression of the Science Dome at experimenta in Heilbronn, which offers a fascinating experience with its rotating auditorium and huge dome.
