Extavium, previously known as Exploratorium Potsdam, is a hands-on science museum situated in Potsdam. It is designed to make science tangible and introduce children aged between five and twelve to the basics of science in a playful manner. The museum also offers suitable programs for secondary schools in the form of experimental courses and lectures.

Future Plans for Extavium

In the 2020s, the museum is expected to receive a new building in the Babelsberg Media City. This new building is planned to be four times larger than the previous museum building and will provide space for particularly large exhibits.

Motto and Concept of Extavium

The motto of Extavium is 'Participate - Marvel - Understand'. This principle is reflected in the museum's concept, which aims to satisfy the curiosity of children and teenagers about the natural sciences and the laws and principles of natural phenomena with 60 interactive exhibits and changing experimental courses.
