After a short break, we will soon be opening our doors again - fresh, redesigned and with lots of "wow" moments!
phaeno will be closed from 27.10. to 12.12.2025 so that we can spruce everything up, try out new things and present you with an even more fascinating science centre just in time for our big birthday.
And then? We will celebrate!
Come to our Opening Days on 13 & 14 December 2025 from 10:00 to 18:00 - with free admission, exciting activities, live art, music, shows and lots of amazement.
A weekend full of discoveries - phaeno style!

Colours, shapes, fascination - the internationally renowned bodypainting artist Gesine Marwedel transforms bodies into living works of art.
Impressive motifs that merge technique, nature and emotion will be created before your eyes on the anniversary days.
In her live performances, skin becomes a canvas, movement becomes a message and colour becomes an experience. Gesine lets art breathe - and combines it with the creative world of experimentation at phaeno.
Let yourself be surprised by spontaneous performances, new perspectives and moments in which art and science go hand in hand.
It looks cosy. But this sofa has it all!
The Living Couch listens, asks questions, whispers - and makes you think.
This award-winning installation moves between theatre, art and science:
Sit down, lean back - and experience how the seemingly silent suddenly comes to life.
A fascinating game about control, communication and relationships - right in the middle of phaeno.
What happens when an object suddenly develops a life of its own?
Find out - on the couch that makes you think (and maybe tickles you a little).
Watch out, the floor is opening! Or does it?
The 3D artist Fredda Wouters creates amazing street and floor paintings that draw you into the centre of fantastic worlds.
Using chalk, perspective and lots of creativity, she transforms surfaces into dizzying depths and surreal spaces. Her art thrives on your perspective - and on you becoming part of the artwork.
Come, see, photograph, marvel - and discover how reality and illusion merge!
Honest, emotional, genuinely phaeno!
The singer-songwriter Till Seifert brings music to the Science Centre with his guitar and a big portion of heart.
His songs tell stories of courage, change and new beginnings - perfect for a phaeno that is reinventing itself. With a lot of emotion and energy, Till transforms every room into a place full of sound, warmth and a spirit of discovery.
A musician who proves it: Music can also experiment - with sounds, emotions and a great deal of curiosity.
Light shimmers, fire dances, the floor vibrates - welcome to Elements of Fire!
In their spectacular show, pyrotechnics, light art and sound merge into an experience that you can feel, see and hear.
A play of elements that turns science into performance: How does light influence our perception?
How does energy transform into emotion?
Experience the interplay of technology, art and nature in a production that pushes boundaries - and guarantees amazement.
Still
days until the big anniversary celebration!
Let us surprise you and look forward to the big anniversary celebration on 13 and 14 December 2025 - admission is free. Join us as we open the next chapter of phaeno together.
