They paint the rainbow in the sky, make our favourite song sound and warm us on cold days: waves. What are the properties of waves and how do we use them in our everyday lives?
Constantly and everywhere, we are surrounded by waves – even if we can only perceive some of them: water waves, sound waves, earthquake waves, light. However, waves are not only omnipresent in our lives, but are used for a wide variety of applications – in medicine, for communication, when looking into Earth or in navigation.
With large-format, colourful illustrations and many hands-on exhibits, the exhibition by focusTerra invites you to playfully discover the relevance, beauty and power of waves with all your senses.
Listen to the waves, feel their energy and experiment with them: let earthquake waves dance in our fountain, listen like a dolphin, make your hand invisible and feel wave patterns drawn on your skin.
Leave your everyday routine behind for a while and dive into the fascinating world of waves – in nature, everyday life, art and research.
