What do a bicycle frame, a microchip and a skyscraper have in common? They are all made of materials that can do more than you might think at first glance. The new permanent exhibition Material Worlds at the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology focuses on precisely these materials: their origins, their processing – and their role as drivers of technical innovation.

The climate crisis and its impact on the environment are omnipresent and impossible to ignore today. Under the programmatic title ‘Climate. Knowledge. Action!’, the Vienna Technical Museum is dedicating a permanent exhibition to this topic.

The miniXplore puts a focus on playful exploration – without giving instructions and without “right” or “wrong”, enabling children and accompanying adults to venture on STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) without fear of failure while having a lot of fun and excitement.
