Large Hadron Collider

The exhibition will explore one of the greatest scientific and engineering endeavours of our time at CERN in Geneva. In the Large Hadron Collider (a giant particle collider) scientists and engineers work at the extremes of temperature, vacuum and energy to recreate conditions not seen since just after the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago. The museum will be collaborating with designers and theatrical experts to create an experience which immerses visitors in the greatest intellectual adventure on the planet. Details of the exhibition were announced in May 2012 by Prof Rolf-Dieter Heuer, Director General of CERN, at the Science Museum’s annual dinner, an event attended by leaders of science, industry, politics and the media. Guests included Prof Stephen Hawking, David Willetts and Janet Street-Porter.
