This performance event allows visitors to observe and experience scientific principles and experimental phenomena through live demonstrations. In addition to the regular exhibits, this limited-time show offers a fantastic opportunity to deepen your interest in science.

It is an educational experience that sparks curiosity in children and provides surprising insights for adults.
