Phänomenta Lüdenscheid and its collection

Phänomenta Lüdenscheid
Source

Phänomenta Lüdenscheid is a Science Center located in Lüdenscheid, North Rhine-Westphalia. It was established in 1996, drawing inspiration from its predecessor in Flensburg. The center aims to enable visitors to understand fundamental phenomena through their own actions. Unlike a technology museum, it does not have a collection for viewing or long texts to read. Instead, it encourages learning and understanding of natural sciences, with a focus on physics and technology, through experimentation and hands-on activities.

Interactive Exhibits at Phänomenta Lüdenscheid

The exhibits at Phänomenta Lüdenscheid are designed to be interactive, encouraging visitors to engage with them directly. They are created in such a way that they do not provide immediate answers, promoting a sense of discovery and understanding through all senses. This approach allows visitors to learn and experience at their own pace, fostering a deeper understanding of the scientific phenomena on display.

The Tower and Foucault Pendulum

One of the key features of Phänomenta Lüdenscheid is the tower that houses the Foucault pendulum. Opened on May 8, 2015, this tower has become a landmark of the city. The Foucault pendulum is a simple device named after French physicist Léon Foucault and is used to demonstrate the rotation of the Earth.
