About NEMO

Exhibitions
Living Looonger
19 January 2024 to 5 January 2025
Over the past 150 years, human life expectancy has doubled. In the exhibition Living Looonger you can see the possibilities and consequences of a longer life. Test your biological age, find out what you can do yourself to grow old healthily and think about a world in which we are getting older and older. Living Looonger is an exhibition for adults about getting older, staying young, living together and mortality.
Energy Junkies
8 June 2022 to 29 October 2023
A warm house, a quick microwave meal and being accessible anytime, anywhere on your phone. there’s no shortage of comfort and convenience in our everyday lives. But almost everything would grind to a halt if we were to lose access to one vital source: energy. In the exhibition Energy Junkies, you make choices for the future. Compose your own carbon diet, choose the right medicines from the climate pharmacy and dream of a world where we are cured of our energy addiction.
Bits of You
5 June 2021 to 1 May 2022
In Bits of You you experience how the data traces you leave behind every day affect your life. In six pavilions, you will discover step by step how your data are processed by algorithms and lead to all kinds of predictions about your identity and behavior. Immerse yourself in a whirlpool of data, discover how algorithms work, catch a glimpse of the data future and ask yourself: do I look like my digital profile?
Future Food
10 July 2019 to 6 October 2019
What will be on your plate in 2050? Where does this food come from? And how will it be made? Edible insects, a hamburger made from cultured meat or food in powder form based on your DNA profile. It may sound far-fetched, but with a growing world population we must carefully consider how to grow our food in the future. Come along on a food journey in Future Food.
