House rules

  1. 1

    Touch everything.

    Every exhibit is a live simulation. Drag it, tilt it, speed up time. Nothing breaks.

  2. 2

    Read the placard.

    Under each exhibit, a plain-language explanation tells you what you just saw and why it happens.

  3. 3

    Check our work.

    Exhibits run on real models and data. Every page lists its sources, and says where we simplified.

  4. 4

    Admission is free.

    No account, no install. Phones, laptops and classroom projectors all welcome.

For teachers

School trips are free.

Every exhibit has its own link, runs full screen on a projector and comes with a ready-made citation. Tell us which topic your students struggle to picture.
