The Galway Science & Technology Festival in conjunction with ESOF2012 and Boston Scientific Galway brings this exciting Scientific Exhibition to Leisureland. Exhibition open to primary & secondary schools & public.

"Accelerating Science" is CERN’s flagship travelling exhibition. For those curious about the origins of our universe, the nature of the particles we are all made from, and the power of fundamental science. In five modules, it takes visitors on an extraordinary journey, starting with the Big Bang. The particles, the mysteries of the universe and the LHC’s exploration of matter guide the visitor through this early-21st-century scientific adventure and discover how fundamental science has changed the world as we know it.

This unique Scientific Exhibition is coming exclusively to Galway from CERN, Geneva – the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for fundamental physics and scientific research.
