NEMO at Schiphol Airport

Schiphol Airport passengers can visit the airport annex of Amsterdam’s famous NEMO Science Museum. In January 2012, it was opened by famous Dutch physicist Robbert Dijkgraaf and the CEO of Schiphol Airport Jos Nijhuis. The exhibition is located behind passport control in Lounge 1 of Schiphol Airport, and is free for all passengers to visit. Once inside, they can explore six interactive exhibits designed for a range of different ages. The exciting exhibits cover a range of scientific and technological topics, including genetics, physics and mechanics.

Whilst primarily intended to occupy passengers before and between flights, the exhibition also aims to attract national and international audiences to the already popular NEMO Science Museum located in the centre of Amsterdam. In essence, the airport annex serves to raise the profile of NEMO Science Museum as a brand among those travelling through the city’s airport. The exhibition was designed by NorthernLight and produced by Bruns.
