Mars – The Discovery of the Red Planet

The planet Mars has fascinated mankind for a long time. Its reddish color, which is also visible to the naked eye in the night sky, made it a symbol of war and battle for ancient cultures. Ever-improving telescopes made it possible to create maps of the near-Earth planet, which fired the imagination of people who believed they could see traces of extraterrestrial civilizations. When space travel made the first unmanned flights to Mars possible in the middle of the 20th century, science was presented with a new image of Mars: the planet resembled a dry, cold desert. And yet - Mars is the planet that most resembles Earth!

The special exhibition is not only dedicated to the latest achievements and the most burning questions, but also provides a glimpse of what may soon be the first human on Mars. As an audience, you can explore the Red Planet's geological features, atmospheric conditions and potential for sustaining life, thereby solving mysteries surrounding the enigmatic planet through an interactive knowledge and experience tour.
