Once Upon a Time... the Earth
Once Upon a Time... the Earth is a large-scale immersive experience about Earth as a living system and a human story. It forms the first chapter of Enter Spaceship Earth; a permanent exhibition being developed at the Evoluon. You travel back through history, the Earth’s crust and the possible future of our planet through interactive installations, fictional narratives, scientific insights and tangible raw materials.
Digital Wellness Center
How do you stay in balance in a world that is always ‘on’? The Digital Wellness Center demonstrates that technology not only causes stress but it can also contribute to relaxation and focus. In a magical Fractal Forest with interactive installations you will experience how digital stimuli work and how to deal with them consciously. Join a group breathing session or discover how the screen imperceptibly affects your freedom of movement in Dancing in the Frame.
RetroFuture
How did people view the future in the past? In RetroFuture you uncover yesterday’s visions of the future: from dreams of flying and fantasies about space to utopias and doom scenarios. Ten tunnels full of fiction and facts reveal which predictions became reality and which remained science fiction. That which was once strange or artificial is self-evident today. The exhibition makes you think about how we look at the future.
Quantum Escape Room
Enter into the mysterious dimension of the Quantum Escape Room. During your mission, a crucial calculation is in danger of going wrong. Can you, together with the team, keep the supercomputer stable while everything around you is changing? In this exciting escape experience, you will discover how quantum technology works in a playful way. No boring explanations: just do it, discover and understand by trying it yourself.
Synthetic Reality
In this true-to-life Synthetic Reality experience, you embark on a joint mission full of discovery, collaboration and hope. In an unprecedented act of global collaboration, The Ark is launched. On board this spaceship, you will experience an interstellar mission that revolves around collaboration, technology and hope for Earth.
The Quantum Escape Room and Synthetic Reality Experience can be booked with or without a museum ticket.
