Science Tunnel
A Journey Through Scientific Discovery

Tour dates

An initial version of the Science Tunnel was put on exhibit at EXPO 2000 in Hanover. During the following four years, it successfully presented cutting-edge research in Beijing, Shanghai, Manchester, Hong Kong and Thessaloniki, reaching more than two million people.

In the light of this very positive response, the Max Planck Society decided at the end of 2004 to develop a second, completely new Science Tunnel exhibition which is on tour now.
