Universum Bremen is a science museum in Bremen. Opened in 2000, Universum Bremen offers active and diverse ways to explore and discover scientific phenomena. Through interactive exhibitions, room-in-room installations and multimedia supports that involve all the senses, the museum aims to awaken curiosity, amaze, arouse enthusiasm and arouse questions. With an area of over 4,000 m², the museum's collection displays objects relating to three themes: humanity, earth and the cosmos. The science center building, designed by Bremen architect Thomas Klumpp, with its 40,000 stainless steel staircases resembles a mixture of a whale and a shell, and has become an important landmark in the architectural landscape of modern Bremen. In 2007 the Universum opened a large outdoor area, the EntdeckerPark, and a new building, the SchauBox, used for additional exhibitions, which change every year.
