Embark on a breathtaking journey to the coldest places on our planet: The POLAR EXPERIENCE will take you into the fascinating world of the Arctic and Antarctic from May 19 at OBEX in Oberhausen.
Following the great success in Berlin, the doors are now opening in Oberhausen for this unique experience. An immersive multimedia exhibition with large-format projections, impressive soundscapes, science-based content and emotional storytelling awaits you on 1,100 square meters. The journey takes you from virtual boarding on the research vessel Polarstern to spectacular ice worlds and a 360° video mapping room in which the Arctic and Antarctic come to life on walls up to six meters high.
This is where entertainment meets science. Designed in collaboration with internationally renowned polar explorers and scientific institutions, the exhibition combines expedition experiences, research findings and concrete hands-on impulses and inspires people aged five to 95.
