Unsichtbare Welten

In the organizer's words:

A hands-on exhibition for children and families

Our eyes are wonderful, but we can't see everything with them. There is much more to discover - in the environment, in space, in our bodies and even in our thoughts. This journey of discovery is made possible in the large hands-on exhibition "Invisible Worlds".

Eight pavilions on the themes of origins, life, waves, thoughts, secrets, earth, brain and cosmos with exciting hands-on stations invite visitors to playfully discover what nature and humans have developed and invented to make the invisible visible.

How does a bat find its way in complete darkness?
How does our brain work and how can it even be tricked?
What did fossilized creatures look like when they were alive?
Is it possible to move a ball with the power of thought alone or to write secret messages in hieroglyphics?

Answers to these and many more questions can be found in the "Invisible Worlds" from November 16, 2023. Whether as a family with children, school class, children's or youth group - the pavilions can be explored in small teams, giving young and old lots of fun and the odd aha experience.
