Discover the marvels of the universe and the bonds that connect us through scientific concepts, hands-on exploration, and endless play.

Exhibition Sections:

Introduction: Where Did it All Begin?
The introductory area grounds visitors in the idea that we, in the present day, are connected to the universe and its evolution, going back to the Big Bang.

Atoms Form and Stars Form: The Formative Years

This section is the highlight of the exhibition. An immersive projection space shows the process of a supernova, its beauty, and the way it allows for life by releasing elements out into the universe.

Galaxies Form: The Milky Way Galaxy
