The highlights of the exhibition

Explore transparency from every angle

From a luminous ice palace to a mysterious forest, a cave filled with mineral treasures, a sunny sky and a sparkling ocean, transparency is a property of matter found in both nature and objects.
Children can marvel at transparency's subtleties, experiment with its optical effects and challenge their perceptions.
From artworks to interactive installations, follow the guide!

Children explore transparency's optical effects by stepping into immersive artworks by Dan Graham and Soo Sunny Park or engage with the subtle creations of Patrick Neu and Agathe May.
Young visitors become thoughtful observers and explorers as they discover the exhibition with a unique guide who’s as light as air, as fragile as glass… and transparent! Fun and playful, she escorts kids through a shadowy forest, invites them to listen to the song of the sleeping princess and leads them to the other side of the mirror. But who exactly is this mysterious guide? Tatiana will whisper the answer!
