Collider, an exhibition on the Large Hadron Collider, is now showing at the ArtScience Museum.
Known as the ‘World’s Greatest Experiment’, Collider brings you through the world of experimental particle physics. If you’ve read Dan Brown’s Angels & Demons (or the film adaptation), you would know about CERN and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Now this is your chance to see up-close – the place and people, science and technology – behind the god particle.
The exhibition begins with a historic Accelerating Cavity exhibit.
Witness the excitement of the discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN Theatre in 2012.
And then step into a recreation of the LHC itself.
Grab a hard hat and safety vest – it’s time to work at the LHC!
No, you won’t get to walk through the massive 27-km long LHC tunnel. It’s just a few metres, but there are cool exhibits to see.
See a breathtaking representation of a Collision in the LHC, with an amazing 270-degree projection.
After witnessing the Collision, you can find the detectors and sensors that have validated the discovery.
Followed by recreation of the particle physicist’s office, where you can learn about the incredible endeavour (some practically lived in their offices) behind the famous discovery.
The journey through the LHC concludes with a look in the future, as well as an installation called The Gift of Mass.
Enjoy some activities at the Collision Space after the exhibition, or you can proceed to the adjacent The Nobel Prize exhibition (though you’d be walking backwards).
The Nobel Prize: Ideas Changing the World
Recognising achievements in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, peace, and economic sciences, the Nobel Prize is one of the world’s most famous awards. This exhibition, which is free, explores the many aspects of the award – from Nobel’s will – to the many developments around the world that have changed the way we live.
