Over 100 exhibits, from sketch to opening

After a tremendous three-year journey we are so excited that Germany’s most innovative science center has opened its doors. NorthernLight, in partnership with Bruns, has been responsible for the design, prototyping and construction of two of the four permanent galleries: Nature of Things, and World View. The journey involved the making of over 100 unique exhibits, activities and art-science installations. At its height, there was a team of over 50 people working in harmony to make all of this happen.

Street lamps, illuminated signs and buildings – lights at night improve safety and make cities more attractive, but have also been shown to have negative effects for humans and animals. The problems of artificial light are commonly referred to as light pollution. In the citizen science project the Star-Spotting Experiment, people from all across Sweden help scientists measure light pollution by counting stars in the sky.

Are you excited by physics and astronomy? Passionate about developing innovative experiences for visitors? Do you have experience working at a hands-on science centre or museum? CERN's exhibitions team offers an opportunity for a longterm student placement (12 months) to contribute to a major new exhibition project:
