experimenta –
The science center
The world is full of questions – and you’ll find the answers here. Can you recognise your own phantom image? When does steel break? How well can computers understand emotions? At experimenta, you can get to the bottom of things yourself. Science and technology can be experienced by everyone. In our exhibition you will get to know yourself and the world better – whether you are three or 103 years old.
Do you have all the questions about our answers?
In a unique combination of planetarium and theater, in our Science Dome, you travel virtually to unknown places. Or you experience how exciting science can be in our experimental shows. In well-equipped labs, you conduct your own experiments and turn your ideas into reality in the Maker Space.
In this one-of-a-kind place, we facilitate experiences and knowledge together.

Whether flocks of birds in the sky, colorful shimmering soap bubbles or reflections in the water: our world is full of impressive natural phenomena. The special exhibition is dedicated to them in numerous experiments and works of art, plays of light and color, sounds and stories.
Our Science Dome
Under the dome, a unique blend of planetarium, cinema, and theater awaits you. Be swept away by spectacular live shows and films, many of them in 3D. In the Science Dome, you can experience lightning up close or dive into the infinity of space. The 360-degree screen and rotating auditorium make the Science Dome a magical place where you can explore the mysteries of the world. Science can be so exciting.

How is it changing our society? And how can we help shape this change responsibly? Together, we will develop ideas and strategies – be part of it!
