COSMOS
Explore the Solar System, galaxies, and the vastness of the Universe in the COSMOS exhibition. From 19/10.
Discover COSMOSPhenomenal: your date with STEM – to discover from 26/04
How does my fridge magnet stay in place? How can I see the sound of my guitar? And why do my hair fly up when a bus rushes past me?
In the new Phenomenal exhibition, discover that you might already be a scientist without even knowing it! Dive into the world of science, sharpen your mathematical thinking, spark your ingenuity, and get hands-on with technology — all in a fun and interactive way!
Here, STEM phenomena with serious names like Bernoulli’s Principle or Ohm’s Law become real playgrounds to explore as a family.
So this spring, open your eyes wide and get ready to see the world differently — because science is quite simply Phenomenal!
4 interactive exploration zones
Chat with a virtual character, ride a pedal bike with not-so-round wheels, challenge the agility of a robotic arm… Ready to dive into STEM?
Designed as a true gateway into the world of SPARKOH!, this exhibition is the very first one you’ll encounter as you begin your visit. And that’s no coincidence!
Before you explore our themed exhibitions, immerse yourself in the core disciplines — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics — and discover that at SPARKOH!, curiosity is a strength. And STEM? The perfect excuse to play.
Awaken your ingenuity!
Zone 1: Engineering
Pulleys, gears, gravity… In this first zone, put your ingenuity to the test by exploring how scientific principles help us tackle everyday challenges — and even push the boundaries of research.
Can you take on these challenges?
- Pedal a quirky machine with a not-so-round wheel
- Set gears in motion to bring a scene to life
- Lift 10 kg with minimal effort
- Defy gravity

Zone 2 : Science
Bernoulli’s Principle, ferrofluid, Oscylinderoscope… In this second zone, these complex-sounding names turn into an epic adventure. Discover how some of the most ordinary actions in daily life are actually ruled by scientific laws.
Ready to put your skills to the test?
- Try to make a disc float in the air
- Make a drum’s sound waves visible by plucking its strings
- Tame a ferrofluid
- Play with magnetism to create a one-of-a-kind drawing

Sharpen your mathematical logic
Zone 3: Mathematics
Calculations, equations, geometry… Do maths intimidate you? Not here! In this zone, they come to life in a playful and interactive way. Far beyond just numbers, they lie at the heart of many challenges and clever strategies.
Ready to take on the laws of maths?
- Plan your moves to win a game of 3D Connect Four
- Master your angles to become a pinball pro
- Make the pendulum dance and observe its sine and cosine curves
Get hands-on with technology!
Zone 4 : Technology
Cobotics, artificial intelligence, electric circuits… Technology is everywhere — enhancing our daily lives and opening up new possibilities. In this fourth zone, explore it interactively through surprising challenges!
Can you take on these challenges?
- Face off against a robotic arm — who will be quicker, human or machine?
- Create an original artwork using generative AI
- Use your own body to close an electric circuit
And much more!

OH!Everyday and OH!Lab
Phenomenal is an exhibition where science, maths, technology and engineering are discovered through play — all while revealing just how present they are in our everyday lives.
By connecting STEM phenomena to everyday uses and real-world professional applications, the exhibition builds bridges between lab science, industrial innovation, and our daily reality.
Each experience highlights this connection: fridge magnetism becomes medical imaging, the sound waves of a guitar help seismologists, and the shape of a football inspires Martian habitats.
Observe, test, tinker, have fun… Phenomenal reminds us that science is accessible, intuitive — and sometimes even magical!
Breaking Science
A wall of discoveries
Bold inventions, futuristic technologies, astonishing discoveries…
The news wall at the end of the exhibition showcases the latest breakthroughs set to revolutionise our daily lives!
To stay in tune with the times, the stories are updated several times a year!
