Learning while having fun: that's the SPARKOH! experience.

This former coal mining site was redesigned by architect Jean Nouvel. Its architecture alone is worth a detour.

Life science at Le Lab’expo Chimie

Chemistry is all around us. It's all about research and innovation which at SPARKOH! can be discovered by games. This fantastic interactive playground is sure to sharpen the mind of the little ones.

The Mendeleïev Experience

A journey to the world of atoms and an immersive visual experience. Use our movements to understand the composition of chemical elements and see how they react...

The Adventure Garden

• A 28 hectares park with observatories and heaps with a fantastic ecosystem await, should you want to enjoy nature as well.
• Swings, zipwires for thrills
• The Jardin de la Biodiversité proves perfect to observe the flora and fauna from a hammock, the side of the pond, from the top of a tower, barefoot on the nature trail...

For the little ones

You're never too young to enjoy science. At SPARKOH!, a ground floor, specially designed for children from 3 to 7 years old, offers a poetic introduction to science via 4 exhibitions:

• Crapahut’
• Lights on
• 1,2,3 let’s go
• Archi-Chouette district.

The jobs of the future

It can be difficult to choose which job we might want to embrace in the future... especially when technolofy advancing means that job might yet be to be invented. SPARKOH! helps teens see things more clearly in different sectors such as science, technology, engineering, art or mathematics (STEAM).

4 areas have been set up to allow them to experiment and help them discover what they might like in a future career, inform them on the skills needed.

Phenomenal exhibition

From the garden to the kitchen, Phénoménal turns scientific phenomena with clever names—like Ohm's Law or the Bernoulli Effect—into fun activities. This immersive exhibition demonstrates that science is not confined to laboratories, but present around us.

COSMOS Exhibition

Through interactive experiences, monumental installations and astronomical instruments, visitors can explore the solar system, galaxies and wonders of the Universe.

Three areas to discover:

• the solar system, planets and other solar objects that surround the sun
• galaxies, exoplanets and black holes
• the confines of the Universe.

And also

• Acro’bât, an indoor tree top adventure
• “CTRL+ALT CHAOS”: a new 4D animated film along 5 screens from February 22
• At the exit, pose in front of one of the paintings representing the museum’s themes and watch the landscape come to life thanks to augmented reality.
