AI and robotics at Phänomena: Learning as an adventure
The Phänomena science exhibition is returning after more than 40 years and will be traveling from place to place. Natural phenomena will be brought to life for young and old alike. AI and robotics are central themes.
Digitization you can touch, climate you can feel, energy you can see: Phänomena turns science into an experience. The first edition in 1984 was a crowd-puller because it made research interactive and tangible for the first time. In 2026, Phänomena On Tour will revive the fascination of that time and consistently carry it into the future.
Mobile world of experience
Phänomena On Tour creates a mobile world of experiences at various locations. The exhibition will open in Dietikon on March 14, 2026. Further locations are yet to be announced. Through interactive stations, immersive installations, and digital tools, curious visitors discover natural phenomena by exploring them. Because when you experience knowledge, you remember things for a long time. «As a child, Phänomena taught me that the world is full of wonders,» says Urs Müller, general manager of Phänomena and son of founder Georg Müller. «For me, continuing this legacy means passing on the fascination of my own childhood to the future.»
How AI and robots are changing the world
In its 2026 exhibition, Phänomena is deliberately focusing on the topic of artificial intelligence. Instead of concentrating on language models such as ChatGPT, the focus is on making AI an experience. It deals with ethical questions and how AI and robots can relieve humans of dangerous jobs with drones or other technologies, what responsibilities programmers have, and whether machines also have feelings.
