Highlights “living exhibits” People loved to talk to real physicists!!! Really!! Tours for everyone with answers to every single question Special events Particle physics show public lectures experiments for children

Resonance 31.000 visitors almost 100 school classes >100 teachers in education special tours for politicians + media well covered by TV, press + radio Guest book: P.Jenni, ATLAS spokesperson: by far the best I ever saw on LHC Physics can be so beautiful ! Makes me understand the incredible. Super - a didactic masterpiece. The engagement of the young scientists is great. Crazy – please make it permanent !!! We made it mobile!
