Exhibits and interactive video station

Special exhibition "Light and Matter"

  • Wednesday, 6/19/2024 - Tuesday, 12/31/2024

Event location
Deutsches Museum

Public event

From the scanner at the supermarket checkout to high-speed internet surfing through fibre optic cables: developments in quantum physics have long been part of our everyday lives and are widely used. In the new special exhibition ‘Light and Matter’ at the Deutsches Museum, quantum optical phenomena are now being illuminated and made tangible.

Together with researchers from the Cluster of Excellence "Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology" (MCQST), the Deutsches Museum has planned and designed this special exhibition on the subject of light and matter. Therefore the exhibition also offers an insight into current research and an outlook on future applications. With numerous objects, in scenoramas and above all at many hands-on stations, the exhibition shows how the understanding of the interaction between light and matter has changed over the last century.

More on the program

Five exhibition areas

In five exhibition areas (What is light? Spectroscopy, Lasers, Quantum physics of light, MCQST module) you can learn a lot about the interaction of light and matter. With the exhibition, a chronological and thematic continuation of the ‘Classical Optics’ exhibition has been created in cooperation with the MCQST. While ‘Classical Optics’ focuses on the propagation of light in rays and waves, ‘Light and Matter’ is about how the understanding of the interaction between light and matter has changed over the last century and how we can utilise this knowledge.

  • The exhibition can also be viewed beyond the end of the year.
  • Opening hours of the Deutsches Museum: Open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. Admission to the museum until 4.30 pm.
