New travelling exhibitions from Continium discovery center. 'World of Bricks' allows the visitor to use LEGO stones to discover and experiment with science and technology. Build a car in the garage, program a robot or make a stop-motion film in the cinema, all partof a life size city full of LEGO bricks. Transparent sashimi, protein rich meat powder or colourful vitamin meatballs a child may need... "Meat the Future" exhibition explores the future possibilities of cultured meat. 30 3D dishes based on the science of cultured meat challenge the visitor to debate and reflect on how we feed ourself in the future.

EARTH'S TREASURES - HOW WE USE AN VALUE MINERAL RESOURCES Mineral resources play a fundamental role in our daily lives. We take their availability for granted and their worldwide consumption is steadily on the rise. What are the long-term consequences of our increasing use of non-renewable resources? What challenges lie ahead for us? This exhibition is about the formation, mining and use of mineral resources, and how we deal with products we no longer need. What can we do to ensure that resources are extracted in an economical, environmentally friendly and socially responsible way and that they are used and reused for as long and as efficiently as possible?

1, 2, 3… ¡RECORDING! A history of music recording The exhibition explores the happy encounter of music with technology towards the middle of the 19th century, the enormous technical advances in sound recording and reproduction since then and how all this transformed our ways of creating, listening to, feeling and sharing music.

Indigenous Ingenuity – Timeless Inventions In order to adapt to their environment, indigenous peoples developed a number of innovations. This interactive exhibition will demonstrate their tremendous ingenuity and their vital contribution to today’s society. Visitors will test First Nations innovations to discover their underlying science and technology. Interactives include fishing virtual salmon with a harpoon, building an igloo using the serpentine technique, experimenting mass distribution in a kayak, hunting various animals by observing their behaviour and choosing the appropriate trap, etc. Measuring 500 m2, Indigenous Ingenuity will open at the Montréal Science Centre in October 2017 and begin its international tour in April 2018.

Curious Contraptions is an exhibition of two parts. Witty, beautifully hand-crafted automata are displayed alongside hands-on exhibits that show the basic mechanisms involved in making the automata work. Through the practical process of constructing these simple machines, visitors will learn about kinetic energy, levers, weights, pulleys, chains, gravity, the nature of apparent randomness of movement and friction.‘ The main didactic approach is the idea of learning about science through art and creativity. Visitors are exposed to hands-on practical experimenting, seeing what works and what does not, and learning about the physical world through that process.

Behind the Scenes: Have you ever watched a movie and thought: „Hey, how on earth did they do this!?“ AHHAA’s brand new exhibition takes you literally behind the scenes. Numerous hands-on exhibits show you how the special effects that you see on the screen are created Here, in this film studio, you can become a cinematographer, create your own stop motion animation, dub the videos or jump through walls, like a real stuntman. This „city“ was built of more than 1 km of metal rails, over 70 windows, a solid 60 m3 of styrofoam and a studio-ful of real filmmaking gear.

The exhibition „energie.wenden“ (which literally means turning energy around), takes on one of the important issues facing societies all over the world today – the need for a transition to renewable energy – and makes it accessible to a broad audience. The exhibition throws light on different technologies and approaches to changing the current energy system and comes up with a new and innovative exhibition concept that encourages visitor participation to an unprecedented degree. Visitors can assume the role of policy makers and explore the complex interdependencies at play: Confronted with information and questions regarding a renewable energy system as well as with opinionated stakeholders, they are enabled to choose between different political measures and to conduct their own personal energy transition.
