Discover science with all your senses

© Luxembourg Science Center

Since opening in 2017, the Luxembourg Science Center has been the ideal place for visitors who want to explore the world of science. Interactive experimental stations await eager researchers, and active scientists explain the background in over 20 science shows.

This workshop is all about optical research: color spectrum, prisms, but also illusions such as mirages are given the honor here, along with topics such as the reflection and refraction of light, the speed of light per se, invisible light spectra (such as the infrared or UV -area) and even such everyday wonders as mirrors, lenses and fiber optics (whose lines are probably sending you this text right now). In no less than 3 different workshops you will get the full overview.

Among other things, the following are treated:

  •      Electron microscopy
  •      Mirror
  •      Invisible objects
  •      prisms
  •      Optical illusions
  •      fluorescence
  •      reflections
  •      Speed of Light
  •      Electromagnetic spectrum


and much more
