Opening of the new focal theme at Futurium
Democracy in Progress
On three festival days, we want to dive deep into the topic of democracy. We want to celebrate it, but we also want to question where things are going wrong in our democracy and how we can change it for the better – with a colourful program in and around Futurium. Develop ideas for a democracy of the future together with experts from politics, science and civil society – in talks, on guided tours, in workshops or at a board game. Because: you can choose the future!

People with reduced mobility
The easily accessible main entrance is only a few metres away from the street Alexanderufer. Within Futurium, a lift leads from the foyer to the exhibition on the upper floor and to the lab on the basement floor. The range of formats offered in the Futurium Lab –workshops, guided tours, Open Lab Evenings and Open Lab Weekends – are suitable for wheelchair users. At many points in the exhibition, seats are available for visitors to take a break. Small chairs and wheelchairs are available to borrow at the information desk in the foyer.
Visually impaired people
Five copies of our portable tactile orientation plan are available at the information desk in the foyer. Assistance dogs and white canes are allowed throughout the Futurium building. For events that require participants to move around, we can provide assistance. Blind people and those with visual impairments can inform themselves about the topics and layout of the exhibition at a tactile overview table, and also by means of text in larger type and Braille. The blind and those with visual impairments need to be accompanied through the exhibition.
