But the “Higgs” and the question of mass was beyond most people –CERN experiments seen as a triumph of international cooperation and scientific endeavour – but in fact the public assumed this anyway! –Cube structure of exhibition worked well; visitors did not feel crowded etc. –Bulk of the key messages conveyed by a robust combination of display elements: Headlines; Large Images; Objects; Screen interactives (both textbook and games) Public Surveys Experience UK survey Case Study Exhibits Hands-on Real Detectors Models Photos Multimedia Real Data Web Sites Live Displays YouTube etc. Physicists Support Networks EPPOG Summary

How does it relate to the Big Bang? What are scientists hoping to find exactly? What will it mean for the world at large?) –Methods of particle detection difficult to understand –Visitors not hugely impressed by the scale of operations at CERN. Just another big engineering project! –Adults (in particular) interested in risks and dangers etc. –Benefits that had emerged from past CERN experiments not well picked-up by visitors (could have reassured them) –Paragraphs of text did not receive much attention –One aspect – a cartoon wall to explain some of the theory – engaged younger visitors but somewhat alienated older people Public Surveys Experience UK survey Case Study Exhibits Hands-on Real Detectors Models Photos Multimedia Real Data Web Sites Live Displays YouTube etc. Physicists Support Networks EPPOG Summary
