Introduction ¤¤¤å HOME
 

The Sciencetunnel is an exhibition on frontier scientific research of Germany. It was produced by the Max Planck Society for the Expo 2000 at Hanover in Germany with the aim of offering visitors a glimpse of fore-front scientific research topics being conducted. This exhibition is a 170-metre long multimedia tunnel that leads visitors through the new dimensions of cutting edge research, spanning from the smallest particles all the way to the largest structures in the universe in a total of twelve stations with pictures and film projections from current research projects.

In a kind of "time-lapse" presentation, the Sciencetunnel offers views into previously unknown worlds - both in us and around us. It shows what challenges today's researchers in the various dimensions of our existence: what holds our world together; how does life function in the realm of cells; how does our brain work; how do human beings interact in the society; what makes life on Earth possible; and finally what our place in the universe is.

Subsequent to its premiere in the Expo 2000, Sciencetunnel has been staged at Beijing, Shanghai, and Manchester, UK. Sciencetunnel will be presented from May to August 2003 at the Special Exhibition Hall of the Hong Kong Science Museum. Through the multi-media presentation of more than a dozen wide-screen projections and hundreds of sensational photos, visitors will have an insider look into the fascinating worlds of atoms, matter, planets and outer space.
