Light fascinates and surprises. Some light can create the most beautiful, glimmering colours that are reflected in surfaces. And where there is light, there is often a shadow – perhaps even several.

In the Labyrinth of Light, you can experience and experiment with the many fascinating properties of light.

In the Labyrinth of Light you can play tunes on the laser harp, examine the colourless room and try moving faster than your own shadow.

See the light!

The Labyrinth of Light is all about light and colours, and how we perceive them.

The phenomena you experience in the exhibition have many parallels to your own day-to-day life. The way in which your shadow changes during the course of the day. How the atmosphere in a room changes depending entirely on the lighting. A visit to the Labyrinth of Light will hopefully make you increasingly aware of light phenomena in your daily life. You will become a sort of ‘light detective’.

Everyone will learn something from visiting the Labyrinth of Light, however the exhibition is primarily targeted at families with children aged 8-14 years.

Below you will find some of the many phenomena you can experience.

Colour columns with light

Here, you can see how, for instance, red, green and blue light produce white light. You can mix red, green and blue light to obtain exactly the colours you want in the light columns. This will enable you to create your own artwork from the 10 light columns.

Play on the laser harp

Play music on the laser harp by blocking the beams. Laser light is a different sort of light.

Discover a universe of flashing light

Lie down and see how ultra-violet light is transformed into visible light, or how light is reflected.

Fun shadow freezing

Here, you can study your shadow and freeze it on the phosphorescent wall – but you have to be quick before it disappears!

Paint the colourless room with light

Here, all colours have been removed. But you can get them back by shining the white light.
