Replacement experiments until mid June

Renewal

The next phase of our renovation has begun at last! Step by step we are replacing experiments in our main exhibition with brand-new ones. Therefore, until mid-June, certain zones on the lower and ground floors will be closed off one by one.

We are doing our best to limit the disruption.
