Universum® Bremen

In Universum® Bremen you go on an extraordinary journey of discovery into the world of science.

Preventive measure: Universum® is temporarily closed

To support the deceleration of the spreading of the coronavirus, the Universum® temporarily closes its doors. This preventive measure in consultation with Senator for Economic Affairs, Labour and Europe will be implemented by the Universum® for the common good. Thus all events of the science centre during this period are also cancelled. We are going to announce on our website how we will proceed after that date. Schools and pre-schools which already planned visits will be informed by phone. All owners of a season ticket can extend the ticket for the time of the closure as soon as the Universum® is reopened. Here you can find questions and answers about the temporary closure.

Discover your Universum®

In Universum® Bremen you go on an extraordinary journey of discovery into the world of science. More than 300 exhibits let you experience and understand scientific phenomena up close and with all your senses. The three subject areas Technology, Humans and Nature are waiting to be explored. Have fun!

You can explore in the open air as well! More fascinating stations on the subjects of water and wind invite you into the outdoor area. Do you know the Sky Window in our tower “Turm der Lüfte”? The 27 metres high tower does not only offer a great view over Bremen but also surprises with further interesting exhibits to try out and explore. Up high!

Striking experiments will amaze you in our daily science shows – this is science with a guaranteed fun factor. Small and big explorers should not miss these shows while on their visit to Universum® Bremen!

Are you hungry?

As we all know, exploring is a hungry business, so in addition to a fun-packed day, we also have your nutritional needs in mind! In the permanent exhibition building there is a cosy new café with snacks for a quick bite and the special exhibition building boasts the KUBUS restaurant with various hot and cold meals available. Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own food and drinks with you. However, we do ask that you only eat and drink on the ground floor and not in the exhibition areas.
