Museums and exhibitions
From interactive hands-on stations to historical collections you can marvel at: Exhibitions and museums offer a wealth of opportunities to present scientific topics in an inspiring way and make them accessible to a wide audience.
Big Bang on the Move
The mobile exhibition Big Bang on the move brings our research into the world of particle physics to the public and shows how science has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Visitors will be taken on an exciting journey through time – from the Big Bang to the present day in just a few steps. It was developed by the Particle World Network, which is based at TU Dresden.
COSMO Science Forum
COSMO in the Kulturpalast is a meeting place for society and research in the heart of Dresden. The science forum is a joint project of the Barkhausen Institute and the Department of Speculative Transformation at TU Dresden. It offers a setting for various scientific fields and current research. Dialogue and discussion take center stage in both exhibitions and various events.
Bakteriopolis: The hidden world of microbes
Bakteriopolis transforms an existing container into an interactive experience that appeals to visitors of all ages. Thus, in collaboration with the Interactive Media Lab, using an augmented reality app, visitors will enjoy an interactive exploration of the different bacterial components, bacterial organization, and social interactions. The exhibition emphasizes bacteria's omnipresence and presents their versatility in different fields.
//DataSpaces
TU Dresden's Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Sciences (CIDS) is dedicated to research in the field of digitalization. The exhibition //DataSpaces. Experience Science. gives insights into the CIDS's work. From training an artificial neural network to playing with swarm behavior, you can see and experience supercomputing at TUD in interactive exhibit modules, gain insights into historical computing and computer technology, and even have a discussion with a chatbot, just to mention a few highlights.
