In what ways do we use energy?
What kinds of energy sources are there?
What is my personal energy consumption?
How can we obtain and use energy resources in an economical, environmentally friendly and socially responsible way?

Shed some light on these questions by exploring the special exhibition "Earth's treasures - How we use and value mineral resources". Exciting and interactive exhibits will enlighten you on the various steps in the resource cycle, from raw materials and products to disposal and recycling.

In addition, interesting hands-on items and experiments provided by the external page Swiss Geotechnical Commission (SGTK) offer deeper insights into geological energy sources. In the electricity workshop organised in cooperation with external page myblueplanet, visitors young and old can test their everyday devices and make a kaleidoscope out of different resources.
