If we weren’t so curious – we wouldn’t discover anything. Columbus would never have set sail, if he didn’t want to know what went on at the end of the world. You, too, would hardly come into phæno if you didn’t want to experience something new.

Discovering the world in phæno: touching, trying things out, finding astonishment, playing, exploring, discovering, and above all: unravelling the frequently mysterious natural-scientific phenomena of everyday life on one´s own initiative. Over 300 phenomena can be marvelled at in phæno.

Have you ever…

… steered a car with the accelerator pedal?
… created a melody out of soap bubbles?
… formed a mushroom out of mist?
… seen an electromagnetic hedgehog?
… experienced the world’s most fiery tornado?

Two Visitor Labs, the Science Theatre and the Ideas Forum give visitors even more opportunities to see, hear, touch, smell and feel. A varied programme of events consisting of workshops and discovery tours conveys content that furthers networked thinking and action.

There are rooms for staging special events on three levels of the building as well as two restaurants. And phenomena "to go" can be found in the "Supermarket of Knowledge" - the phæno Shop.
