The Cosmos and the Solar System
Step into the dimensions of space and time
The historic staircase, with its cast-iron flights and railings, becomes a gateway to the universe: at the center of the exhibition Cosmos and Solar System, a large, movable projection sky floats above, bringing the history of the cosmos – from the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago to the present day – to life in impressive images.
How, where, and when did the matter from which we are made come into being? From a reclining platform, you can experience galaxies, stars, and planets in their earliest stages of development.
