Celebrate Christmas at the museum

This Christmas holiday, there’s so much to explore at the UFO!
Be amazed by the world of tomorrow at the Next Nature Museum. Unwind in the Digital Wellness Center, meet NEO, or try to break free from the Quantum Escape Room.

A future-proof activity for the whole family!

Please note: the museum is closed on December 25 and January 1.

Friday, December 19 - Sunday, January 4

11:00 - 17:00

Quantum Escape Room

Step with your team into the heart of a futuristic quantum computer—a system teetering on the edge. You have twenty minutes to stabilize it. Success depends on true teamwork.

Every challenge makes you think differently: track down escaped qubits, guide a laser through a precise optical setup, and see how small choices can have big consequences.
Experience the fundamentals of quantum physics in a playful, hands-on way—no PhD required.

A short, intense experience that shows how our minds work under pressure.

Meet robot dog NEO

Robotic dogs are increasingly being used for certain jobs. But could robot dogs be an alternative to our beloved furry four-legged friends? Meet NEO, and join the conversation about what you think of these developments. Is a robot dog an ideal alternative to a real pet?

We walk NEO twice a day at 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on the following days:

  • Wednesday 24 December
  • Friday 26 December
  • Wednesday 31 December

Digital Wellness Center

How do you deal with digital stress? The Digital Wellness Center helps us understand that technology is not the enemy, but can be a tool for mental peace and personal growth.

Rather than completely disconnecting, the Digital Wellness Center challenge you to explore how technology can actually contribute to their well-being. The exhibition offers a combination of interactive installations and soothing environments to understand and deal with digital overload.

Go exploring on your own!

Would you rather explore the Evoluon on your own? You can! Explore the iconic building, wander through the unique garden and take a look behind the scenes of the Next Nature Museum using your own phone. With the new online tour, you will be surprised by both the history and the future of this futuristic “UFO”.

New: Human Gills & Groundvoices

Ground Talks is an interactive AI installation by immersive artist Puck van Dijk that gives a voice to the hidden life beneath our feet — from earthworms and amoebas to fungi that sustain our ecosystem.

Human Gills by designer Phillipa Beale imagines a future in which humans can literally breathe underwater. This speculative wearable - half organism, half technology - attaches to the skin and filters oxygen like real gills. Poetic yet critical, the project explores how we might adapt to rising sea levels and technological inequality, and what the cost of that evolution might be.
