Physics Theme Park
Educational fun and games for the whole family
15 June – 14 October 2007
The Physics Theme Park will accompany the exhibition during the summer months.
10,000 years of human history will be brought alive in the Museum’s Schlosspark: inventions and discoveries from the Stone Age to the 20th Century – everything with a “hands on”, try-it-out-for-yourself approach.
The journey through time leads from the earliest advanced cultures and Antiquity to Europe in the early modern period, right down to the 20th Century. Games enable both young and adult visitors to grasp the essence of technological achievements: the law of leverage, power transmission, and energy conversion. Background information (in German, French and English) helps to get to the heart of the connections between technology and cultural history.
