In the Bubblearium visitors can experience the fascinating science behind soap bubbles, while they make and play with soap bubbles of all sizes. The exhibition’s rounded walls are lined with LED lights that are controlled individually to play a film with floating soap bubbles.
Several of the exhibition’s exhibits make use of our newly invented overflow system; just as in an infinity pool, the excess foam in the soap bubble water is led away, making it easier to make bubbles. The overflow tanks are used for several of the , where the round tank is placed in the middle of the round tables. To make soap bubbles, you can use the homemade, whimsical soap-bubble-tools hanging on the ‘tool-wall’ in the exhibition.
A soap bubble reflects its surroundings and is therefore a sort of a floating mirror. In the exhibition visitors can learn more about soap bubbles and, for example, see themselves upside down in the bubble and realize why special surfaces can mirror their surroundings.
The exhibit is centered around a light table, which enables visitors to experience a soap bubble’s colours. The light table is designed to light up the soap bubbles with different colours of light. This makes it possible to see what happens as the liquid in the bubble evaporates and moves.
