Exhibits in experimental physics invite hands-on interaction for visitors of all ages.
2. MODERN TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE
How Einstein’s research and theories influence modern society and our daily lives.
3. HISTORICAL GUIDE
Einstein’s life, his family background and the city of Ulm in 1879, the year of his birth.
