An exhibition about the multifaceted uniqueness of Homo sapiens
Each human being is unique and special and has abilities, peculiarities and special individual characteristics that make each human distinctive, like hair color, eye color, height, weight, sex, and many other. In addition, language, gestures, facial expressions, thinking and feeling are found only once in humans in different combinations. This unique individuality makes humans to personalities and although there are so many people in the world, there is only one of you, me, her, him and it.
The special exhibition “You are unique!” focuses on the dimensions of the human body. Visitors can show full physical commitment and test their eyes, memory, reaction time and nerve strength, among other things, at 13 interactive stations and exhibits. Visitors enter the exhibition and can go through on their own. They receive a board with a questionnaire that needs to be filled at each station. At the end when all parts are done and filled an automatic reading system allows the visitor to receive an evaluation based on the filled questionnaire.
Therefore, the exhibition is easy-to-handle for Science Centers as the number of guides needed is very low. Guides are only needed (max. 2) to support the visitors or help at exhibits. But guides are not needed to walk through with the visitors or school classes.
