Description
CERN Science Gateway opened its doors to the public in autumn 2023. Part of this new education and outreach centre are the exhibitions that combine immersive scenography with interactive exhibits and real scientific objects.
Three exhibitions are available for the public. In Discover CERN visitors learn more about the accelerators and detectors at CERN. Our Universe consists of two parts: in Back to the Big Bang visitors travel back in time to beginning of our universe, in Exploring the Unknown they discover how artists were inspired by their interactions with scientists. And in Quantum World visitors experience the weird world of elementary particles.
The exhibitions are targeting a broad section of the public, both those with an existing interest in science and physics as well as those with no prior knowledge that are looking for a nice day out. This presentation will give an overview of the exhibitions as well as present results from both a visitor survey and observing visitors in the exhibitions.
