Research Trip to Deutsches Museum München

The PhD students of PhInt will visit the special exhibition “Light and Matter”. The group visits the temporary exhibition to learn how physical effects can be demonstrated in an exhibition, what challenges this presents, and how physics can be integrated into exciting contexts.
This serves as preparation for their own exhibition objects, which the students will display at the German Optical Museum in Jena at the end of their doctoral studies.
