The exhibition "Why? It matters" invites the public to explore the big questions surrounding the future of particle physics. This event, organized by Matière à questions, will take place at the Globe of Science and Innovation, located within CERN, from October 8, 2026, to February 28, 2027.
Visitors will have the opportunity to delve into the challenges and decisions that shape the future of this field through a variety of interactive exhibits, images, and multimedia installations. The exhibition aims to shed light on the current thinking on the future of particle physics, from the mysteries of the Universe to technological advancements, potential future accelerators, and their impact on society and the local area.
The exhibition also highlights the collaborative efforts between scientists, engineers, decision-makers, member states, and international partners in shaping the next decades of research in particle physics. Practical information states that the exhibition will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., on the ground floor of the Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN.
This exhibition is set to engage the CERN community, as well as the general public, in discussions about the knowledge transfer, local impact, and practical aspects of future research in particle physics.
