Science fascinates

Dive into the world of science. Create a soap bubble you can even stand in or take on the role of a chemist and do experiments in a Laboratory. On the fourth floor of NEMO you will find Humania where you'll learn all about your own species: humankind, through games, tests and museum objects. If you would like to take a break, you are welcome in one of NEMO's catering establishments, where you can enjoy a drink and a snack.

Fenomena

Physics is everywhere: the colours of a rainbow, a crackling sweater and the difference in voice pitch between men and women. At Fenomena you can conjure up these phenomena yourself and immediately see how it works. Discover how ordinary and yet surprising natural phenomena such as light, sound and static electricity work.
