A peek into the workings of Large Hadron Collider

WE'VE all suffered through science experiments at school and risked beakers exploding in our faces, or worse, being splattered by the insides of a dead amphibian or two. If you're looking to experience the miracles of science without having to get your hands dirty, head on down to the ArtScience Museum to check out their latest exhibition on what exactly goes on at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva.

Co-curator for the Collider exhibition, Dr Harry Cliff says: "You shouldn't come here expecting to learn exactly what the Higgs boson is and how it works, because that requires a four-year degree and probably a bit more work on top of that."

Instead, the exhibition aims to create a sense of immersion into a blend of theatre, video and sound art, complete with authentic artefacts from Cern, with the intention of transporting visitors to the famous particle physics laboratory, all without the trouble of an actual flight.
