7 PM to 8 PM – Orienteering competition. The museum challenges the most active participants of the Culture Night. Discover the historical building from an unexpected angle as you orient yourself. Speed and attention will be important in the competition, as we will reward the first finishers.
7 PM to midnight – Scientific experiments in the ETM courtyard. We will experiment with liquid nitrogen, mix household materials, produce a (Non)Newtonian fluid, observe a fire tornado and hold fire in the palm of our hand.
7 PM to midnight – “Water Rocket” in the ETM courtyard. Rocket – a vehicle, flying device or weapon? Who invented it and could we make a rocket ourselves? Get ready for a water rocket flight! *When planning to participate in the workshop, please bring plastic containers: 2 plastic bottles are needed to make 1 rocket.
7 PM to midnight – The exhibits leave the showcases in the Turbine Hall. The exhibits of the Energy and Technology Museum housed under protective glass and in museum funds will see the moonlight during the Culture Night.
